Brazilian Cheesy Rolls

These deliciously chewy, cheesy rolls made their way into my recipe box after a trip to a Brazilian steak house years ago. My husband eats a gluten-free diet and when we learned that there was a gluten free bread option at a restaurant for him, of course I had to figure out how to recreate it. Brazilian cheese bread has a base of tapioca flour (making it gluten-free), and this helps to create that light and airy texture that is necessary for Brazilian cheese bread. This bread is simple, delicious and very easy to make. I have enjoyed testing out different type of cheeses (like parmesan and asiago) and spices (like rosemary and garlic) to jazz up this recipe! Have fun with it and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

• 1 egg 

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 

• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Combine all ingredients to a blender and blend together until smooth.

3. Grease a muffin tin with olive oil, and pour mixture until tins are 3/4 of the way full.

**The rolls will be hard when they come out of the oven but soften as they cool. Recipe makes 12 rolls.
