These are unusual times in USA and the world which, on the desperately needed upside, are giving us more opportunity to spend time with our families\u2014and this includes sharing meals together. When you’re cooking more at home, it\u2019s great to have easy ways to change up those classic American kitchen-counter favorites. Here\u2019s one option that\u2019s sure to be a crowd pleaser: P\u00e3o de Queijo \u201cBrazilian cheese bread.\u201d\u00a0 Created in Brazil\u2019s heartland by the international brand Forno de Minas, these tasty morsels are not only incredibly versatile, but also hugely convenient since they cook up in the oven in just five minutes flat.

Forno\u2019s P\u00e3o de Queijo\u2014or cheese roll in Portuguese\u2014is an easily prepared, adaptable offering that serves as a snack, a breakfast item, a side dish and even a dessert pairing. In addition, Forno\u2019s P\u00e3o de Queijo is a favorite of health-conscious eaters, as the cheese rolls are all-natural, gluten-free, allergen-friendly and yeast-free. They\u2019re fully baked, frozen and conveniently only take just a few minutes to bake up crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside.\u00a0 In fact, because they’re frozen you can store them in your freezer and get a fresh, chewy bun to eat on its own or for reinventing standard recipes.

On that note, one taste tip is to change up the traditional ham and cheese sandwich by spinning the melt version of that time-honored, scrumptious sammy! All you need are mustard, ham, cheese, pickles and Forno’s nutritious, delicious cheese bread!
