COOKING LEVEL: noob beginner standard

Super easy because you're letting your blender and oven do all the work.

Serving Size: 8-12 pieces Total Cooking Time: 30min.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg at room temperature

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 2/3 cup Lactaid

• 1 1/2 cup tapioca flour

• 1/2 cup dairy free cheddar cheese

• 1 tsp salt
  

1. Prepare a muffin pan. Spray cooking oil or brush olive oil into each muffin tin.

2. Preheat oven at 400F.

3. In a blender, mix all ingredients. You may need to occasionally stir before continuing to blend.

4. Fill each muffin tin halfway using a measuring cup. This is important as to not overflow the pan.
   

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how crispy you want the top.

6. Remove the pan and let it cool for 5-10 before transferring them to a plate.

7. Serve as an appetizer or enjoy as a snack.

Recipe Notes:

• Pao de Queijo is by far the best gluten free cheesy bread I've ever had. And I can't believe how easy it is!

• You can double the recipe and save the remaining batter for another day.

• The longer you let it cool before eating, the chewier it is.

• Optional: For a cheese topping, sprinkle some cheese on each muffin once you remove it from the oven. Then while it's cooling, the heat can melt the cheese on top creating a nice crunchy top.
