Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 tsp salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture boils and is very hot.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and immediately stir in 2 cups tapioca flour until a sticky dough forms. Let cool for 10 minutes to prevent eggs from cooking prematurely.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Using a tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed, golden, and lightly crisp on the outside. Let cool slightly before serving for a chewy interior.
