Questions

How do I know when Pão com Alho is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 5: cook until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted.

What can I use instead of Parmesan in Pão com Alho?

The entry for Pão com Alho calls for 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated. In its place: Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano, measure for measure. For dairy-free, use nutritional yeast at half the volume.

Can I make Pão com Alho dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free side collection instead.

Is Pão com Alho vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan side collection.

Does Pão com Alho contain eggs?

Yes: 1/2 cup mayonnaise. The full allergen list for this entry is dairy and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
