Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups tapioca flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir in 1 cup grated Paraguayan cheese and mix well.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 3/4 cup warm milk and 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a 6-inch breadstick shape.
Step 4: Grill the breadsticks for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until puffed, slightly golden, and cooked through. Serve warm as a delightful cheesy snack.
