Gather Your Ingredients
Before you get started, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for this recipe. You will need cassava flour, grated cheese, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and salt. Cassava flour is a staple in Brazilian cuisine and can be found in most grocery stores. For the grated cheese, you can use any type of hard cheese, such as parmesan or cheddar, but the most traditional cheese used is queijo Minas. This type of cheese is not easily found outside of Brazil, so feel free to substitute with your favorite hard cheese.
Mix It Up
To make the dough for these cheese balls, start by bringing the milk, vegetable oil, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Once it reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and stir in the cassava flour. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Let it cool for a few minutes before adding in the eggs, one at a time, and mixing until fully incorporated. Finally, add in the grated cheese and mix until well combined.
Roll and Bake
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball. You can also add some extra grated cheese on top for a crispy and cheesy crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve and Enjoy
Once they are done, remove the cheese balls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Brazilian cheese balls are best served warm, so dig in and enjoy the gooey cheese center and crispy exterior. You can also serve them with some hot sauce or chimichurri sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
Now that you have the perfect recipe for Brazilian cheese balls, it's time to put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and start baking. With their irresistible cheesy flavor and unique texture, these cheese balls are sure to be a hit with everyone. So, impress your friends and family with this traditional Brazilian dish and add some South American flair to your next gathering.
