Joelho Pequeno is a Brazilian baked snack widely enjoyed as a quick meal or midday treat. Its name, meaning "small knee," comes from its shape, which resembles a bent knee. Typically made with soft, fluffy dough, it’s filled with a savory combination of ham and cheese, though variations may include other ingredients like chicken or tomato. Originating as a popular item in Brazilian bakeries, this snack is a staple in Brazilian cuisine. While Joelho Pequeno is a convenient and satisfying option, it is often high in refined carbohydrates, sodium, and saturated fats due to the dough and cheese filling. For a healthier twist, whole-grain dough and leaner or plant-based fillings can be used to enhance its nutritional value. Perfect as a comfort food or a party snack, Joelho Pequeno offers a delectable taste of Brazilian culinary culture.
