Brazilian Cheesy Bread



 Pão de queijo, or Brazillian cheese bread, is a delightful snack and breakfast food that holds a special place in the hearts and palates of the people throughout Brazil.  
Its name translates to "Cheese Bread in Portuguese.  This popular treat originated in the State of
Minas Gerais has become a beloved part of Brazilian cuisine. In fact, you may recognize it as the bread commonly served a Brazilian Steak Houses, adding a delightful complement to the meaty feast.

I have had the pleasure of making these easy rolls with my Grandkids numerous times, and it never fails to amaze me how simple they are to prepare.  One of the remarkable aspects of Pão de queijo is that it is
naturally gluten-free, as it is made with Tapioca flour.  Sometimes, we make this bread with 
cheddar cheese.  
These rolls are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed alongside various soups.  



Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
1 egg, large
1/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cups milk
1/2 cup feta cheese (or farmer's cheese)
1/2 cup parmesan or romano cheese

Directions:
1.  Add all ingredients to the blender.  Mix until thoroughly blended, scraping down the sides of the container if needed.
2.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a 36-count mini tart pan with cooking spray.
3.  Use a small cookie scoop to fill each well in the tart pan.
4.  Bake for approx. 20 mins or until golden brown.  Serve warm.
