brazilian cheese bread (Pão de Queijo)

These Brazilian Cheese Breads or Pão de Queijo are so delicious and super easy to make. Chewy and cheesy little balls made from tapioca starch, cheese, milk, egg and oil. The first time I tasted this at a Brazilian steak house made me think what it's made of because it is sticky and loaded with cheese. A bread so addicting that you won't stop eating them. Please know that these delicious breads are best eaten when warm... right when out of the oven. So, be extra careful and don't get too excited as it might burn your lips. I suggest to break them into two pieces and let the steam come out.

You can make the batter ahead of time. Refrigerate and bake them next day. Leftovers can also be warmed in the microwave oven for 10 -12 seconds each piece or place in the oven to warm up. Like I said, they taste great when warm. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Enjoy.
