I’m going to be honest, one of the primary reasons we ever frequent Brazilian steakhouses is to enjoy the amazing Pao de Queijo that they serve as a side. I decided $40 a person was too much to pay for Brazilian Cheese bread, so we learned how to make Brazilian cheese bread at home.

What To Serve With Pao de Queijo
Pao de queijo is typically served in Brazilian style steak houses and is one of the most popular side dishes (and one of the primary reasons we frequent them). So, naturally this Brazilian cheese bread is fantastic when served as a side for most proteins. Because I’m a sucker for kitchen gadgets, I decided to try making them in my Instant Pot. I made the mix, and then he steamed them. After they were steamed, we broiled them to get them browned. But if you don’t have an oven, such as in a dorm room, an RV, while camping, or if you live where it’s 100F outside, you don’t have to brown them. Full disclosure. They don’t taste light and crunchy like the baked version. What they are however are chewy and they still taste the same. Here are some of my favorite main courses to pair these cheese rolls with:
Juicy Pork ChopsAir Fryer Pork TenderloinAir Fryer Chicken ThighsBrazilian Chicken
How Long Does It Last?
These cheese rolls are delicious straight out of the oven. The texture deteriorates after they are stored for any period of time. They are very moist and causes them to become soggy. For the best bite, I would suggest eating them within 1-2 days of preparing them. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
