Quick Brazilian Cheese Rolls {Pao de Queijo}

1 large egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup canola oil
1 cup tapioca flour (sometimes labeled tapioca starch) no substitutions
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ C grated cheddar cheese* (preferably medium or sharp)
¼ C grated Parmesan cheese

Optional:  extra cheese to sprinkle on top and any herbs/flavorings you’d like to add. 

Preheat oven to 400°.  

Place egg, milk, oil, tapioca flour, and salt in blender and blend until smooth.  Add cheeses and pulse 2 times.  Immediately pour batter into a mini muffin tin (spray lightly with non-stick spray first), filling each well about 3/4 full, or just slightly less.  Sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese on top and/or a tiny sprinkle of kosher salt.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden.  Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes before removing rolls from pan.  Serve warm.

These actually don’t re-heat well so I recommend making and eating fresh.


Yield: anywhere from 16-24 rolls, depending on how full you fill your muffin pan.
