Brazilian Cheese Rolls

November 14, 2017

Recently I have been on a major beans and rice kick, {which i’m about to create a separate post for}, and these are the perfect thing to serve alongside them! My family get seriously excited when I pull a batch of these out of the oven, all soft and warm and oozing with melted cheese when you pull them apart. My husband served a church mission in Santa Maria, Brazil where his room-mates would make these fresh for breakfast! So they’re a throw-back for him, and another family fave that we all adore! I hope you guys love and make them as much as we do. I’m not much of a dinner-roll kinda girl, because they require so much work and pre-thought, but all that is required of these is blending up a few ingredients, and baking them in the oven. Leaving you all that time to work on some delicious rice and beans! 

Brazilian Cheese Rolls

Serves: 12
Prep Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

{Recipe adapted from ourbestbites} 

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 C grated cheddar cheese* (preferably medium or sharp)
  • 1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400degF and prepare a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place the egg, milk, oil, tapioca flour, salt and cheeses in blender and pulse to blend. (The mixture should be liquified but have little pieces of cheese still in it).
3. Pour the batter to fill about 3/4 full.
4. Sprinkle a little more cheddar cheese and kosher salt on top, then bake for 20 mins, until cheese balls are puffed up and golden.

Notes

Serve with Feijoada (Brazilian Beans & Rice)

    Where do you find tapioca flour? Can you substitute anything else?

      I have found tapioca flour in the baking isle at Walmart, and it comes in a tiny pkg,and is a little pricy. So, I go to Winco and get it from the bulk foods section at a much better price. Sadly, there can’t be any substitutions — as far as I know! (I haven’t personally experimented), it’s just what i’ve heard.

    The walmart i went to didn’t have it and upon checking with the staff they said they no more sell this. I then found it in HEB.

    I ordered mine off Amazon. Also, you can make your own by grinding up Tapioca Pearls in a food processor/blender/spice grinder.

    Is the center supposed to be still gooey kind of? They turned out better than a different recipe I’ve used. I’m just wondering if they needed to be baked longer? Mine look like your pictures so, I’m guessing they cooked long enough. Do you serve them warm or after they’ve cooled?

      Yes, the center is supposed to have melty, gooey cheese, and they’re definitely best served warm!

    […] Directions: Preheat the Instant Pot by turning on the sauté mode. Place beans in a fine mesh strainer, pick out any with impurities, and rinse. Add the bacon, onion, sausage and garlic and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add the beans, bouillon and water, and spices. Stir to combine and secure lid. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, and then release steam from pot. If desired, lightly smash some beans on the side of the pot (this will thicken them), season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve over white rice, and with Brazilian Cheese Rolls. […]
