Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease (or spray) the bottoms of 24 (or 48) mini-muffin cups.
  3. Blend milk, oil and eggs, then add tapioca starch and finally, cheese. The result must be something very liquid.
  4. Pour the mixture in the muffins cups, filling about 2/3 of each one.
  5. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake at 350°F until done or golden brow, about 18 minutes. They should double the size (most of that is air inside the bread).
  7. Serve warm.
  8. Tip: if you don’t worry with calories, you can serve with cream-cheese and butter. We can even add small pieces of bacon before bake.
  9. Note: if you don't have Parmesan, you can use any other hard cheese, like asiago or provolone.
