About Pastel de queijo
Pastel de Queijo is a popular Brazilian snack, deeply rooted in the country’s culinary traditions. This savory delight consists of a thin, crispy pastry shell filled with melted cheese, typically made from wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt for the dough. It is then deep-fried to golden perfection. Variations may use cheeses like mozzarella or queijo minas for a rich, gooey filling. While Pastel de Queijo is beloved for its crunchy texture and irresistible flavor, it is not without its indulgent side. The deep-frying process contributes to its high calorie and fat content, making it more of an occasional treat than a daily staple. On the positive side, it offers dairy-derived calcium and protein from the cheese. Moderation is key to enjoying this iconic treat while maintaining a balanced diet.
