Brazilian Cheese Bread

Brazilian Cheese Bread
            a chewy cheesy popover type affair

    1 egg
    1/3 cup olive oil (haven't tried with coconut oil or butter yet)
    2/3 cup milk (might try coconut milk)
    Scant  1 1/2 cups (170 grams) tapioca flour
    A few shakes of love
    1/2 cup (packed) grated cheese of choice
    1 teaspoon of salt (or more to taste)

Mix everything in a blender, pour into greased mini muffin tins, and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 - 20 minutes.  Enjoy. 

I like to add herbs &/or chopped anchovies &/or tiny pieces of broccoli.  The recipe is a pretty great blank canvas on which to build. 

The original recipe, as well as a potato variation, one with anise, and similar breads from other cultures, can be found http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/easy_brazilian_cheese_bread/
