Add melted butter and eggs, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and divide into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a rectangle, spread with margarine, and sprinkle with cheese.

Roll the rectangle tightly into a log shape and coil it into a spiral.

Place the coiled dough in greased baking pans and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the ensaymada for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Cool slightly before brushing with melted butter and sprinkling with powdered sugar and coconut.
