Pão de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Puffs)
Our culinary bout of Brazil is going strong! Last calendar week we indulged in a few caipirinhas, yesterday was some Pesto Broccoli inspired by one of my fav restaurants in Rio and this week we're loading upward with Pão de Queijo! Simply you expect to see what I have in store for adjacent week 🙂
Pão de Queijo, one of the many amazing foods I was able to endeavour in Brazil, is going to rock your world. Literally. It's the Brazilian version of Pate a Choux which I haven't made since culinary school. Also, please don't approximate my photos if you click on that link. Yikes. Give thanks goodness I've progressed since then.
Anyways, Pão de Queijo is substantially a cheese bun! It'southward extra delicious served right outta the oven while information technology'southward still hot and the cheese is warm. It's a popular item in Brazil as it's served for breakfast, snacks, tiffin, etc. You could basically swallow these all day long and never tire of them. They are light, fluffy and savory little buns of joy that I can promise you'll honey. Afterwards making these a scattering of times in my own kitchen, I can as well say that they make for splendid little sandwiches. But slice a few of them in half, stuff them with more cheese (apparently) and prosciutto and bask.
Make them, consume all of them, majorly obsess over them and then hop on a plane and go to Brazil and so yous tin can eat them in that location too. Information technology'due south totally the right thing to do. No but actually, go to Brazil! TAM airlines is giving abroad a costless trip right now and I highly suggest you lot enter and then y'all tin can eat copious amounts of Pão de Queijo too! Y'all can find them basically anywhere in Brazil, but one of my favorites was at Confeitaria Colombo in Rio. (they also make a mean Brigadeiro which is basically chocolate, condensed milk and butter! I mean who could possibly argue with that?!)
I'll be whipping these up for Valentine's Day and enjoying them with a few glasses of champagne. Information technology'southward pretty much the most well rounded meal I've always created 🙂
