About Cheese bread balls
Cheese Bread Balls, commonly known as Pão de Queijo, are a traditional Brazilian snack made from tapioca flour, cheese (typically queijo minas or parmesan), eggs, and milk. This gluten-free treat has a light, chewy texture with a crispy exterior and a rich, cheesy flavor. Originating from Minas Gerais, Brazil, they are a staple in South American cuisine and enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item. While high in protein and naturally gluten-free due to the use of tapioca starch, they can also be calorie-dense due to the cheese and sometimes butter or oil used in the recipe. Tapioca flour provides quick-digesting carbohydrates, making this a source of fast energy. Best enjoyed in moderation, Cheese Bread Balls pair well with coffee or tea for a satisfying and indulgent treat.
