HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Place the frozen pão de queijo on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

02

While the pão de queijo bakes, crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until combined and slightly frothy.

03

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

04

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still moist.

05

Gently fold the cut pão de queijo pieces into the scrambled eggs.

06

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the eggs before scrambling. Ensure the pão de queijo is slightly cooled before cutting to prevent it from crumbling too much.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have pão de queijo, you can use small cubes of cheddar or mozzarella cheese folded into the eggs, though the texture will be different. Any type of milk can be used, or even water for a lighter scramble.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the pão de queijo will lose its crispness upon reheating. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
