Our culinary tour of Brazil is going strong! Last week we indulged in a few caipirinhas<\/a>, yesterday was some Pesto Broccoli<\/a> inspired by one of my fav restaurants in Rio\u00a0and this week we’re loading up with P\u00e3o de Queijo! Just you wait to see what I have in store for next week \ud83d\ude42<\/h2>\n

\"P\u00e3o<\/p>\n

P\u00e3o de Queijo, one of the many amazing foods I was able to try in Brazil, is going to rock your world. Literally. It’s the Brazilian version of Pate a Choux<\/a>\u00a0which I haven’t made since culinary school. Also, please don’t judge my photos if you click on that link. Yikes. Thank goodness I’ve progressed since then.<\/p>\n

Anyways,\u00a0P\u00e3o de Queijo is essentially a cheese bun! It’s extra delicious served right outta the oven while it’s still hot and the cheese is warm. It’s a popular item in Brazil as it’s served for breakfast, snacks, lunch, etc. You could basically eat 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 love. After making these a handful of times in my own kitchen, I can also say that they make for excellent little sandwiches. Just slice a few of them in half, stuff them with more cheese (obviously) and prosciutto\u00a0and enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"P\u00e3o<\/p>\n

Make them, eat all of them, majorly obsess over them and then hop on a plane and go to Brazil so you can eat them there too. It’s totally the right thing to do. No but really, go to Brazil! TAM airlines is giving away a free trip right now<\/a> and I highly suggest you enter and then you can eat copious amounts of P\u00e3o de Queijo too! You can find them basically anywhere in Brazil, but one of my favorites was at Confeitaria Colombo<\/a> in Rio. (they also make a mean Brigadeiro which is basically chocolate, condensed milk and butter! I mean who could possibly argue with that?!)<\/p>\n

\"P\u00e3o<\/p>\n

I’ll be whipping these up for Valentine’s Day and enjoying them with a few glasses of champagne. It’s pretty much the most well rounded meal I’ve ever created \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
