Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and olive oil over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the tapioca flour and grated cheese. Pour the hot milk mixture over the flour and cheese mixture and stir well until everything is combined.
Step 3: Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. The dough will be sticky.
Step 4: Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, shape the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pão de queijo is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Pão de Queijo is best enjoyed warm.
