Cheese Pan de Sal

I am not really a fan of pan de sal, I find them messy with all those loose crumbs. I even find them boring if I ate it as it is. There should be corned beef, spread, or whatever at the side. Ingenuity has it, someone just stuffed cheese into these little balls of dough, and viola, cheese pan de sal is born. I will tell you, never again will I turn my eyes and my appetite on a pan de sal.
