Ultimate Guide to the Brazilian Mounjaro Recipe with Just 3 Ingredients

  • A simple and delicious Brazilian Mounjaro recipe made with just three ingredients—cassava flour, cheese, and butter. These cheesy, chewy treats are crispy on the outside with a gooey cheese filling inside. Perfect for a snack, breakfast, or appetizer, this gluten-free recipe brings a taste of Brazil right to your kitchen.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 Mounjaro servings (approximately) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 cups cassava flour

    • 1 cup cheese (Queijo Minas, mozzarella, or a mild melting cheese)

    • 1/2 cup butter (unsalted)

    • 1/2 cup water

    • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the pan on medium heat and melt butter.

  2. In a bowl, mix the cassava flour with a pinch of salt and water. Stir until it forms a dough.

  3. Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each into a disc shape.

  4. Place small chunks of cheese in the center of each dough disc, then fold it over to seal.

  5. Cook the dough on the heated pan, pressing slightly, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

  6. Serve hot and enjoy the gooey cheese inside!

Notes

  • You can experiment with different types of cheese. Mozzarella and cheddar work well as substitutes for Queijo Minas.

  • For a richer flavor, consider using clarified butter (ghee).

  • You can freeze uncooked Mounjaro for later use. Just cook from frozen by adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
