Ingredients

  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (170 g) tapioca flour or tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Generously grease a mini muffin tin. Place all the ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well blended. This will yield about 2 cups of batter.
  • Transfer the batter into the mini muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for a few minutes. Enjoy while warm, or save for reheating later.
