Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 cups tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded white cheddar
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400. Grease a 24 count mini muffin pan generously with butter or oil.
  • Add the milk, olive oil, eggs, tapioca flour, salt and cheeses to the blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the batter in to the prepared muffin pan holes, filling each one to just below the top.
  • Bake at 400 for 14-16 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool a couple of minutes in the pan, then gently remove from pan and serve.

Notes

A couple of tips for this recipe:
  • Generously butter or oil each hole in the mini muffin pans – this makes it so much easier to get the little puffy cheese balls out!  I use a paper towel and just swipe it over a stick of butter and quickly hit all the little holes, swiping the butter again as needed.
  • My absolute favorite mozzarella cheese to use in any of my recipes is the Kraft Philadelphia Creamy Melt shredded mozzarella.  This stuff is so creamy and melty because it has a touch of Philadelphia cream cheese in it!  It is the only mozzarella cheese I will buy any more because just a little goes a long way in recipes to help them be their best cheesy self.
  • You can absolutely play with different cheeses or add some herbs to change these up a bit if you like!  Grated Gruyere, Parmesan, Swiss, regular sharp cheddar – they will all give their own unique flavor to your cheese bread!
This recipe will make about 25-30 little cheesy bites.
