18 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 large egg at room temp
- 1 1/2 c tapioca flour
- 1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 c shredded mozzarella
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- A pinch of kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and make sure the rack is in the middle position. Lightly brush some olive oil inside each well of a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If needed, use a spatula to scrape down the sides to make sure everything blends together nicely.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the little cheese breads puff up and turn a lovely golden brown. Once they’re ready, take them out of the oven and give them a quick sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before digging in.
- These are best enjoyed warm, paired with your favorite meal. If you’ve got leftovers, no worries—they’ll keep in an airtight container for 1-3 days.
Notes

Just double-check that your cheese and other ingredients are gluten-free, and you’re good to go. If you’ve been hunting for a gluten-free snack that’s still packed with flavor, this is the one you’ll want to keep coming back to.
