Tucano's Brazilian Cheese Bread



One of our favorite restaurants is Tucano's, a Brazilian Churrasco.  Although the meat is the main draw, one of our favorite things are these yummy cheese bread balls.  I had never seen anything like them before, and just had to learn how to make them myself.  Turns out they are pretty simple, and oh, so delicious!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Ingredients:
1 egg
1/3 c oil
2/3 c milk
1-1/2 c tapioca flour (try the gluten free aisle)
1/2 c grated cheese (any kind will do, my favorite is queso fresco, but cheddar and mozzarella are good too)
1 t salt

Mix everything in your blender until smooth.  Pour into a mini muffin pan.  One batch makes 24, perfect for one muffin pan.  Bake 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden.
