Pão de queijo is a popular Brazilian snack and street food that translates to "cheese bread" in English. It is a type of small, round bread roll made from cassava flour (also known as tapioca flour or starch) and cheese, typically with a chewy and slightly crispy texture on the outside and a soft, cheesy interior.
Pão de queijo can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of accompaniments such as coffee, tea, jam, or other spreads. It's a delicious and gluten-free option for those with dietary restrictions, as cassava flour is naturally gluten-free.
It is a great breakfast complement, starter or snack between meals.
