Pre-gaming for South America... with Brazilian Cheese Bread
After a long day at work, I was happily surprised when I came home to find Brazilian cheese bread in the oven courtesy of the hubby! Before we head off to our South American vacation, we figured we ought to pre-game before hand with some Brazilian treats. The goal was to clear the fridge. We have milk. We have eggs. We have cheese leftover from the low-carb biscuits that we made... and lo’ and behold we also have leftover tapioca flour from the honeycomb cake. It’s like the universe is telling us that we have to make this Brazilian cheese bread.
Ingredients:
1 large egg
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cup of tapioca flour
1/2 cup of cheese (I happen to have shredded cheddar cheese on hand)
1 tsp salt
The recipe is really quite simple and the only tool we really used was the food processor. It’s literally a dump into the food processor and pulse until a smooth consistency. Preheat the oven to 400*F and grease the muffin tin. Once the mixture is smooth, pour into the muffin tin until about halfway or a little more. It only takes about 15-20 minutes to bake. You’ll know it’s ready when the outside is nice and crunchy and the inside is soft and chewy.
It’s one of those really addicting treats that you just can’t stop eating. Definitely will be trying this again!
