Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup water, 3 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt; bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups tapioca flour vigorously until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Step 3: Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1 tbsp chopped chives until evenly combined.
  5. Step 5: Shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls using a spoon or your hands, and place on the baking sheet spaced 1 inch apart.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and lightly golden on the outside while remaining soft inside.
