Cheese bread is a savory baked good made from simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, cheese, eggs, butter, and milk. Originating in South America, particularly Brazil, where it is commonly known as "pão de queijo," some versions also feature tapioca flour for a chewy texture. Its golden crust and soft interior make it a popular snack or breakfast item. Cheese bread is high in calcium and protein due to the cheese and eggs, which contribute to bone strength and muscle repair. However, it is also calorie-dense and can be high in saturated fats, depending on the type and quantity of cheese used. While it’s a flavorful addition to meals, it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Variations of cheese bread are found globally, reflecting regional cheeses and preferences across cuisines.
