Traditional Paraguayan breakfast
Chipa is a small cheese bread roll which is quite popular for breakfast in Paraguay. Years ago I spent few weeks in this beautiful country and I remember vendors entering busses and screaming “chipa, chipa, chipa”. There’s another reason for me to remember this name so well – in Polish it means something very specific and not really food related, so it was a big surprise to hear it, oops.
It is a delicious little bite, especially when still warm and cheese is all chewy and looooong. You can have it just like it or you can make it a bit more fancy and add guacamole. I chose the fancy option as I like guacamole and it made a perfect breakfast.
Recipe
YOU WILL NEED FOR CHIPA:
- 2 cups tapioca flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1,5 cup cheddar, cut in small pieces
- ½ cup milk
YOU WILL NEED FOR GUACAMOLE:
- 2 avocados
- ½ of medium red onion, well chopped
- juice of ½ lime
- salt and pepper to taste
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix it well. Leave in a fridge for abut 30 minutes. Roll small balls out of the dough and place on a baking paper. Bake in 220*C for about 20 minutes.
Smash avocados in a bowl, add lime juice, onion, salt, pepper and mix well.
Enjoy, Marta

When I read cheese I already knew I would have to mark this one for making. If it’s got cheese inside, I’m in!!

Thank you Rosa, I think that they are pretty much the same, so you know the Paraguayan one as well 😀

Mine did not rise even though I followed the recipe exactly–any ideas what might have happened or how to fix it??
