Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large egg at room temperature or one and one-half regular eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups Tapioca Flour
- 2/3 cup Gruyere Cheese
- 2 - 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Grease a mini muffin pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until fully combined, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed. If the dough seems a little dry or crumbly, add a splash of milk or beat a second egg and add just enough to make a soft, sticky dough that holds together.
- Pour batter into muffin tins, filling tins just over halfway.
- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
Notes
- Feel free to subsitute your favorite hard cheese
- Feel free to swap out the chives for your favorite herb or spice
- Sprinkle cooked and crumbled sausage, bacon or ham over the puffs while in the muffin tin, before they go into the oven.
