Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large egg at room temperature
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Grease the mini muffin pan with olive oil.
Place all the ingredients into a blender. Pulse until the batter is smooth, using a spatula as needed to scrape the sides of the blender for thorough mixing.
Pour the batter into the mini-muffin pan, filling each cup up to about 1/8 inch from the top.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is puffy and lightly browned.
Remove it from the oven and let the bread cool on a rack for a few minutes. Enjoy while the chewy cheese bread is warm.

Notes

Storage Info:

Store Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months in a sealed bag. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm and toasty. Microwaving can also work but may not maintain the original texture. Reheat by placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) until warm and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
