Kathy’s Cheese Rolls
Description
Wonderfully warm, gooey and
soul-satisfying cheese roll. If you let
them sit overnight, they make wonderful rolls for a breakfast sandwich. These are wonderfully flavored with garlic
and shallot (feel free to omit either, if they don’t suit you).
Inspiration
These are a take on Bazillion Cheese
Bread, PAO DE QUEIJO. I first had these
in a bazillion steakhouse many years ago.
They are usually served with breakfast or with a meal. They are wonderful. They are gooey, puffy,
pillows of cheesiness. Served warm, they
melt in your mouth. Served room
temperature, they are a wonderful base for a breakfast sandwich. I flavored mine with a mix of onion and
garlic, they are strong flavored, but you can cut back on the onion and garlic,
or leave it out entirely, to serve your preference. Word of caution, double the batch, or they
will be eaten before you can even make it to the dinner table. ~Kathy
Makes
6 Rolls
Equipment
Note:
You can make them in any size muffin tin, just watch them close and adjust the
time.
Spatula
Ingredients
1 egg
1/3 cup oil (I like peanut or grapeseed, but olive or vegetable
will work also)
2/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups tapioca flour (sometimes called tapioca starch)
3/4 cup grated cheese (my favorite is queso fresco, but use what
you like)
1 large peeled shallot, or 1 small peeled onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of grey salt
3 Dashes of white pepper (or pepper of your preference)
Prepare
Preheat oven to 400°
Spray muffin
cups with non-stick spray
Add all ingredients into blender,
and blend until smooth, a couple of minutes, scraping down the blender as
needed with a spatula
Pour into
muffin tins (not quite half way)
Bake
Bake 15 – 20
minutes, until puffed up and very lightly brown
Serve
Serve warm
for gooey-cheesy rolls, or cool overnight for a nice, soft sandwich bun the
next day. These need no embellishment,
like butter, they stand wonderfully on their own.
Tasting Notes
Favorable, warm, gooey, cheesy, and
satisfying…so wonderful with a dry sparkling wine before dinner. Or with a warm
bowl of soup in the winter. The next
morning, they are a cheesy burst of flavor with coffee or tea.
