Pão de Queijo (“cheese bread” in Portuguese) is a small, airy, cheesy roll:

They are made with tapioca flour:

So if you are one of the many who avoid gluten, this is a bread you can eat!

And it’s a cinch to make.

Simply throw tapioca flour, milk, an egg, olive oil, grated cheese, and salt into a blender:

And pulse until it is smooth.

Spoon the batter into a greased mini muffin tin:

And bake for about 20 minutes or until they are puffy and golden brown.

I like to eat these with just about everything.

But most of the time I just eat them on their own with a little butter.

One time I cut them in half:

And made a sandwich with leftover Beef Ribs:

That was really good, too.

Whatever you decide to eat Pão de Queijo with, I know you will love them.
