Brazilian Cheese Bread, known as "Pão de Queijo," is a beloved snack originating from Brazil. Made with tapioca flour, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and cheese, its unique texture is both soft and chewy with a slightly crisp exterior. Naturally gluten-free, thanks to the tapioca flour, it’s a popular choice for those with gluten sensitivities. The cheese adds protein and calcium, while tapioca flour provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content. However, it’s also calorie-dense and contains higher amounts of saturated fat, depending on the type of cheese used. While it’s a delicious treat, moderation is key for those monitoring their fat intake. Enjoyed fresh from the oven, Brazilian Cheese Bread is a delightful addition to breakfast, snacks, or alongside coffee, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of South America.
