Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, butter, and salt. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat.
Add the tapioca flour to the hot mixture and stir vigorously until it forms a sticky dough. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
Stir in the grated cheese until evenly combined. The dough will be sticky and elastic.
Using a spoon or lightly oiled hands, form small balls (about 1 to 1½ inches wide) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese breads are puffed and golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy their irresistible chewy texture and cheesy flavor.
Tips or Serving Suggestions
For the best flavor, use a mix of sharp Parmesan and mild mozzarella.
If the dough feels too sticky to shape, lightly oil your hands or chill it for a few minutes.
These taste best fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes.
Serve them with coffee, tea, or alongside soups and stews for a comforting meal.
Brazilian cheese bread is more than a snack—it’s a taste of Brazil’s warmth and hospitality. With its cheesy aroma, crisp crust, and chewy interior, each bite is pure comfort and joy.
