Brazilian cheese breads, or pão de queijo, have been slowly sweeping across the country thanks to Brazi Bites, a frozen food brand specializing in several flavors of these snacks. Now, Brazi Bites is taking another step forward in the world of food and making empanadas out of Brazilian cheese bread.
Coming to grocers nationwide this June, the Brazi Bites Empanadas will come in four flavors: Chicken & Cheese, Beef & Bean, Black Bean & Cheddar and Chickpea Veggie. The pão de queijo crust ensures that these empanadas are gluten-free, but also gives them a crispy, cheesy exterior with a unique chewy inner crust that gives way to the hearty fillings inside.
The newest product from Brazi Bites is like a hybrid between Paolo de quiejio and an empanada. Amazing. #FoodbeastExpowest pic.twitter.com/9LMQ0iXO2j

The Foodbeast team got the chance to try these empanadas ahead of their launch at Expo West. That contrast between the crisp and the chew in the empanada pastry makes this one of the more unique textural experiences you can find, and makes it worth checking out once these hit stores.
When these Brazilian cheese bread—empanada hybrids drop in June, you’ll be able to find them at select Target grocery stores. A full list of locations can be found on Brazi Bites’ website. You can also find their regular cheesy breads in freezers at several major retailers nationwide.
