Ingredients
- 2 cups cassava flour
- 1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated cheese traditionally queijo Minas, but mozzarella or Parmesan work well
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or herbs for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the milk, oil (or melted butter), eggs, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Add Tapioca Flour: Gradually add the cassava flour to the mixture while blending until fully combined and smooth.
- Incorporate Cheese: Add the grated cheese to the batter and blend just until mixed. If using, add garlic powder or herbs for extra flavor.
- Rest the Dough (Optional): For a lighter texture, let the dough sit for about 30 minutes.
- Scoop the Batter: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese breads are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Enjoy warm, straight from the oven. They can also be stored in an airtight container and reheated for later enjoyment.
