Yes. Dia's Cheese Bread (Which is coming back on the menu at Niche when we move to our new location). This is actually pao de queijo, a Brazilian recipe, from Minas Gerais, a town where my nanny was from. Dia was a very special woman who really understood cooking better than anyone that I have ever met. This bread was part of my every day life growing up and constantly reminds me of her cooking.
