Delicious, delicious Brazilian Cheese Bread.
Pão de Queijo is one of Chef Emme’s back-to-school secrets. A go-to recipe, this quintessential Brazilian snack is perfect for school lunch, an after-school snack, or just a tasty treat for the kids (and you). The small cheese balls are made with tapioca starch – meaning they’re naturally gluten-free! The cheese and tapioca starch give these little savory balls a nice, chewy texture with the cheese and milk providing high-quality protein.
