week TwO: Cheesecakes from Sintra


Cheesecakes from Sintra (Queijadas de Sintra) are regional pastry that can only be found in the historical town of Sintra.
These tiny but yet  incredibly tasty cakes, have a soft inside and a crunchy outside.
The filling of 'queijadas' is the result of the unusual blend of fresh goat cheese, eggs and cinnamon. 
Every day, thousands of 'queijadas' are baked in small and dedicated bakeries in Sintra.
Traditionally, we purchase a wrapped stack of six 'queijadas' and enjoy their crunchiness while surrounded by the magical environment of Sintra.

Enjoy!
