Brazilian Cheese Bread

Cultural Context

Originating from the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil, Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) is a beloved snack that showcases the country's affinity for cheese and tapioca. Traditionally enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack, these gluten-free treats are a staple in Brazilian households. Today, they have gained international popularity, often found in Brazilian restaurants and bakeries around the world.

6 servings
Servings4
2 cups tapioca flour
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
1 cup shredded cheese (your favorite variety)
1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 pinch thyme or rosemary
1 pinch parmesan cheese
1 dash garlic powder or salt
1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.

2

Pour oil, milk, and salt into a large saucepan, and over medium high heat. As soon as your mixture starts to boil, remove from heat immediately, and add tapioca flour. Stir until blended.

3

Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

4

Add eggs, minced garlic, parmesan and shredded cheese.

5

Using your handheld or stand mixer, blend until smooth. Dough will be sticky.

6

Using 2 spoons, in a coffee mug full of water, scoop dough into every cup on your mini muffin pan.

7

Sprinkle garlic powder or garlic salt on top of each puff. I always use garlic salt.

8

Sprinkle a pinch of dried thyme leaves or basil on top, if desired.

9

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes before removing rolls from pan. Serve immediately.
