Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread
Description
This recipe for Easy Brazilian Cheese Bread combines tapioca flour with moisture-rich ingredients—milk, olive oil, and egg—to form a batter-like dough. Parmesan cheese incorporated throughout adds savory flavor and a slight nuttiness. The batter is spooned into well-greased muffin tins, then sprinkled with more cheese on top, which melts and forms a crisp, cheesy crust during baking.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the breads develop a golden color, soft interior, and crisp exterior. Once cooled for 10 to 15 minutes, they can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They serve well as a snack, side bread, or accompaniment to soups and salads.
