Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan)
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare Batter:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a saucepan, heat milk, butter, and salt over medium heat until warm (do not boil).
  3. Gradually mix in tapioca flour, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

2. Add Cheese & Eggs:

  1. Let the mixture cool slightly, then add eggs and shredded cheese.
  2. Stir until a sticky, thick batter forms.

3. Bake & Serve:

  1. Scoop batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
  3. Serve warm with coffee, soups, or dipping sauces!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or oregano.
  • Swap cheddar for gouda or feta for a different cheesy twist.
  • Store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
