Ingredients: 1/4 cup tapioca flour; 2 tablespoons milk; 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; Pinch of salt; 1 small egg; 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella; 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan; 1 teaspoon butter for greasing

Brazilian cheese bread reimagined as a single-serving skillet bread that's impossibly gooey inside with a golden, crispy exterior.

1 min Wild Card 8 ingredients

Ingredients

1/4 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Pinch of salt
1 small egg
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon butter for greasing

Preparation

This isn't your typical pão de queijo—it's a communal Brazilian snack transformed into an indulgent, personal experience. The result is a warm, cheesy bread that you can eat straight from the skillet with a spoon.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small saucepan, heat milk, oil, and salt until just boiling. Remove from heat.
Immediately stir in the tapioca flour until a sticky dough forms.
Let cool for 2 minutes, then beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
Fold in both cheeses until evenly distributed.
Grease a small oven-safe skillet (about 6 inches) with butter.
Pour the batter into the skillet and smooth the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden on top.
Let cool for 3 minutes before serving warm.

The tapioca flour creates that signature chewy texture that makes pão de queijo so addictive, and having your own personal skillet means no fighting for the last piece.
