These Colombian cheese breads, known as almojábanas, are a simple, cheesy treat. They come together quickly in a food processor, mixing cornmeal with two kinds of cheese, butter, and eggs to form a soft dough. Once baked, they puff up into golden, savory rolls with a tender, cheesy interior. They’re best served warm, straight from the oven.
