Chipa Montaña Rusa
Description
This recipe for Chipa Montaña Rusa incorporates tapioca starch with eggs, milk, and neutral oil to create a smooth batter enriched with shredded Parmesan cheese and seasoned with kosher salt. The mixture is blended thoroughly to ensure uniform texture before being poured into a greased baking pan. Adding additional Parmesan on top provides a browned, savory crust.
Baked at a high temperature of 425°F for about 15 minutes, the chipa puffs up and turns golden, producing a bread with a characteristic chewy and airy texture that is both light and flavorful due to the cheese content. Its texture distinguishes it from traditional wheat-based breads.
Chipa Montaña Rusa is best enjoyed immediately while warm, as its texture and taste are optimal fresh from the oven. The recipe notes advise against storing, making ahead, or freezing due to potential texture changes.
Ingredients
- 3 large egg
- 180 g tapioca starch

- Reserve 15g of the shredded Parmesan cheese to sprinkle over the batter later.
- In a food processor, add the eggs and blend for about 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese breads puff up and turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and unmold the Chipa Montaña Rusa while still hot. Serve immediately.
