About Brazilian cheesebread

Brazilian Cheesebread, known as "pão de queijo," is a beloved staple of Brazilian cuisine, originating from the country’s Minas Gerais region. Made with tapioca flour, eggs, milk, oil, and cheese, this gluten-free treat boasts a chewy texture and rich, savory flavor. Its unique base of tapioca flour, derived from cassava root, makes it naturally suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The cheese and eggs provide protein and calcium, but the recipe’s inclusion of oil contributes to its high caloric and fat content. While pão de queijo is not typically low in calories, moderation can fit it into a balanced diet. Enjoyed as a snack, breakfast food, or side dish, the cheesebread is celebrated for its versatility and comforting indulgence, combining simplicity and tradition with a satisfying bite.
