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.
