The “p\u00e3o de queijo” is a small bread with cheese that is eaten in Brazil at breakfast, but without restriction the rest of the day! In France, it is true that we will probably be more tempted to eat it without restraint as an aperitif with the famous Brazilian cocktail, the caipirinha!<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

 The p\u00e3o de queijo is traditionally made with ingredients that are hard to find in France, such as “polvilho doce”, which is a starch based on manioc and “meia cura” cheese (medium aged) but no problem to make them!<\/div>\n
I came back from Brazil with a “meia cura” cheese and I made my “p\u00e3es de queijo” in the most authentic way! And in France you can replace with half grated fresh parmesan and half grated and chopped gruyere! The result will be almost identical!<\/div>\n
In Asian supermarkets you can find tapioca flour, which is actually tapioca starch, tapioca being cassava. So it’s a different name for what is in fact the same product! Tapioca flour = polvilho doce!<\/div>\n

The first ingredient is done. The second, the “meia cura” cheese, can be found in Brazilian grocery stores. But the price is quite high and you won’t notice the difference if you replace it with freshly grated Parmesan cheese . Sometimes I don’t have the courage to grate parmesan cheese, so I shamelessly use parmesan powder.<\/div>\n
In short, the cheese breads (“p\u00e3es de queijo” in plural) are delicious and easy to make, you have to eat them 5 minutes after they come out of the oven, they have a slightly crunchy texture on the top and a heart extra soft (thanks to the tapioca flour!!). Everyone who has tried it at my house has become a fan! Well, yes the c\u00e4ipirinha helps a lot!!!<\/div>\n
