Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/3 cup milk whole
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 egg at room temperature, large
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a mini muffin tin with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, oil, and salt over medium heat until it just starts to boil. Remove from the heat immediately.
  3. Add the tapioca flour to the saucepan and stir until the mixture is smooth and the flour is fully incorporated. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
  4. Add the egg to the tapioca mixture, mixing well until the dough is smooth and the egg is fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. With oiled hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them in the greased mini muffin tin.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese breads puff up and turn light golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
