This is one of my favorite Colombian snacks. I’m just pleased that I no longer have to go to Colombia to eat this delicious and traditional Pan de Queso.
Have you ever tried to make a food that you loved when you were a child and had a difficult time duplicating the taste of your memory...and while using the ingredients from another country? Sometimes, even when the flavor is right, it doesn't feel right. But hold out for those rare times that everything falls into place, like with this bread! This photograph hardly does them justice, but trust me, you are going to love this Pan de Queso recipe.
Buen provecho!

I would totally inhale that cheesebread. I had the same expierence when I tried to make these flatbreads the other day to replicate this bread this restaurant called Olgas made that I adored...it's like a sweet, fluffy pita but not a pita...no such luck!

You always have a way of making these words come out of my mouth! "Oh YUM"!
As a girl my best friend and I would cover bread/biscuits with cheese and bake them, something about cheese and bread just spells 'Goodness'!

Carla- After 5 minutes. You can add the rest of the ingredients.

Yes, yes, yes! Cheese and bread, cheese baked right into the bread. I want to make these, but at what point do you add the baking powder mixture after five minutes. Do you just then add everything together?
Thabks.

Otra alternativa para reemplazar el queso fresco?
Erica
Alex- You can use mozarella cheese, queso blanco or quesito Colombiano.

I've never had queso before but from what I have read it must be similar to Greek anthotyro, which I love. These little breads must be perfect for breakfast or a snack.

There is no way I could possibly not make this cheese bread! Even from the photos, the rolls look warm and fragrant. I could make a whole meal just from them!
