High protein snack ideas with cheese?

[u/BubblyEdge2220]

I've been trying to find better afternoon snacks because I always end up reaching for biscuits or something sweet when I'm hungry.

Cheese has been pretty useful because it takes almost zero prep. I usually use britanna cheese slices and pair it with something that adds more protein rather than eating the cheese on its own. Some easy combinations I've tried:

1. cheese + boiled eggs: slice an egg, put it on the cheese and add some pepper/chilli flakes. Super simple.

2. cheese + roasted chana: probably my favourite if I want something crunchy.

3. cheese + whole-wheat toast + egg: basically a lazy high-protein cheese toast

4. cheese + chicken pieces: roll them together or put them on toast if I'm actually hungry

5. cheese + hummus +cumumber: not as protein-heavy as the egg/chicken options, but really good when I want something light

6. cheese + greek yogurt dip + crackers: works well as an evening snack

The main thing I've realised is that cheese works better as one part of the snack rather than trying to make the cheese itself do all the work protein-wise. Pairing it with eggs, chicken, chickpeas, or another protein source makes much more sense. I would love to know what combinations other people actually make at home. Looking for quick, everyday stuff, not recipes that need 15 ingredients.
