Brazilian Cheese Bread with Pork Tenderloin

We posted this pairing idea on our Facebook page last week so we wanted to break it down for you here in the blog. This is a delicious, gluten-free, meaty and fulfilling snack. One of our favorites and very popular in Brazil.

It's easy to make and guaranteed to be a hit at a party or the dinner table. Here is a step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Pick your Brazi Bites flavor. Jalapeño goes great with pork tenderloin but if spicy is not your thing, Original is a nice option too.

Step 2: Cook the pork tenderloin and bake the cheese bread (at the same time)

The bread and pork bake at the same temperature - 400°F - so you can bake them together. It'll be easier and the bread will taste just as delicious. Brazi Bites takes about 20 minutes while the pork takes 12. You can place the bread in the oven first and add the pork after 7 minutes. Both will come out together and should rest for a few minutes before slicing.
