Cheese Pão de Queijo
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil or butter
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup milk or soy milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 beaten eggs
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
2
In a large saucepan, combine olive oil, water, milk, and salt. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. As soon as it reaches this point, remove the saucepan from the heat source.
3
In a separate container, whisk together tapioca flour and garlic until you achieve a smooth consistency. Allow this mixture to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4
Meanwhile, combine grated cheese and eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the tapioca mixture to this bowl, stirring until everything is well incorporated. You may notice that the dough has a chunky texture, similar to cottage cheese.
5
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1/4 cup in size. Place these balls onto a baking sheet that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.
6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the tops of the dough balls are lightly browned, taking around 15 to 20 minutes.
