About Pastelito de queso

Pastelito de Queso is a popular pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, particularly beloved in countries like Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. This flaky treat is made by encasing a rich cheese filling in buttery, puff pastry dough, which is then baked or fried to golden perfection. The filling typically features cream cheese or a combination of cheeses, offering a creamy, savory flavor that balances the pastry's sweetness. While Pastelitos de Queso are an indulgent delight, they are high in carbohydrates, fats, and calories due to the pastry and cheese. On the upside, they provide a good source of protein and calcium from the cheese. These pastries are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Perfectly paired with coffee, they’re a favorite for breakfast or as a midday snack.
