Where to find ingredients
Find standard baking supplies and all-purpose flour in the baking aisle of any local supermarket. For the Minas cheese and goiabada, check the specialty cheese or international foods section. If Minas cheese is unavailable, a mild, fresh, unsalted white cheese can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Grease individual ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Add the grated Minas cheese to the mixture and stir well to incorporate.
- Fold in the cream cheese and melted butter, mixing until the batter is uniform.
- Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, folding gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling each one just over halfway.
- Place a cube of guava paste into the center of each portion of batter.
- Cover with the remaining batter, ensuring it does not overflow the rim of the ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains soft.
- Carefully remove from the oven, unmold while hot, and serve immediately.
- Optionally serve with a side of guava purée or passion fruit coulis if desired.
