Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • ¼ cup (62.5ml) vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup (56.75g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (250g) tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt (, plus more for topping, if desired)
  • ¾ cups (75g) freshly grated parmesan cheese (, plus more for topping, if desired.)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Spray the inside of a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.

    Then add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, melted butter, salt, flour and cheese into a blender.  Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick.

  4. 4
