We’ve been in love with these little balls of cheesy bread since we had them at a Brazilian steakhouse. I’ve made them many times but never saved the recipe. Jeff declared this batch to be the best, so I am saving it this time.
What I had:
1 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup grated cheese (I used a mix of Parmigiano Reggiano & Fontina)
What I did:
- Heated milk, salt, and oil on stove till bubbling.
- Poured this liquid into the tapioca flour and mixed till a sticky dough was formed.
- Mixed in the egg; felt hard at the beginning but took a minute and it was easier done than I thought.
- Mixed in the grated cheese.
- Baked at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, turned the oven off, and let them sit for another 5 to get the exterior crispy.
Ate way too many of them right out of the oven - they are bite sized and delicious and very easy to keep eating till you feel sick. So beware!
