Pan de queso

Pan de queso is a cheese bread that originated in Colombia, specifically in the Paisa region. Tapioca flour and grated cheese are the main ingredients, but it's the fermented cassava starch that gives these rolls their lightness and volume.

They're eaten plain or filled with cream cheese or jelly for breakfast or as a parva—a quick breakfast snack.
