Ingredients

12 servings
Eggs2 large
Butter4 tbsp
Mozzarella cheese1.5 cups, shredded
Parmesan cheese0.5 cup, grated
Salt1 tsp

Method

1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine milk, butter, and salt in a small saucepan; heat over medium until butter melts and mixture steams (do not boil). Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.

3

Add tapioca flour to the warm milk mixture and stir until smooth; the batter will be thick.

4

In a blender or food processor, combine the tapioca mixture and eggs; blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

5

Transfer blended batter to a bowl and fold in mozzarella and parmesan until evenly distributed.

6

Transfer batter to a piping bag (or divide equally using two spoons) and pipe or drop into prepared muffin cups, filling each three-quarters full.

7

Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into one roll comes out clean; rolls will puff during baking.

8

Cool in tin for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack or serve warm.
