Notes
- *Good alternative to Brazilian queijo Minas Frescal, which is a soft, fresh cheese with a slightly tangy and creamy flavor are ones that have mild, milky cheese with a soft yet sliceable texture. Try queso fresco, queso blanco (white cheese) or queso panela, which you can find in most American grocery stores. Fresh mozzarella and Ricotta salata could also work - it won't be the closest to perfect replacement, but they'll be fun.
