Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup packed shredded parmesan cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease to 12 cup mini muffin tins recipe makes about 24 Little bread.
  2. In a blender combined the egg oil, milk, flour, and salt process until the mixture is smooth about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the blender once or twice. Add the cheese and process for just a short bit; 5 to 10 seconds or a few short pulses until the cheese is in small bits all throughout the batter.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared, muffin tins, filling the cups nearly to the top, or about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake the Pao de Queijo until very lightly brown golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Don't let them get to Brown or the bottom on the bottom or they will be to crusty and not as chewy.
  5. Remove them from the oven and serve! They are best eaten whilst warm. (Don't worry if some of the bread falls in the middle a bit that's completely normal.)

Notes

Tapioca flour is sometimes called Tapioca Starch. They are the same. Here is brand I like.
