Step-by-step preparation
Prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, mix the cassava starch, grated cheese, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and oil (or butter) until warm (do not boil).
Add the milk and oil mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add the egg and mix until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.
Form the balls:
With slightly damp hands, take small portions of the dough and form walnut-sized balls.
Place them on a plate or tray while you finish forming the rest.
Cook in a pan:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Place the cheese bread balls in the pan, leaving space between them.
Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning them carefully so they brown evenly on all sides.
Remove when they are golden brown and puffed up. Frying option:
If you prefer to fry them, heat enough oil in a pan and fry the balls until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot as an appetizer or snack. They’re ideal with coffee or your favorite dip!

Tips and variations
Different cheeses: You can use cheddar cheese, queso fresco, or even cream cheese to vary the flavor.
Egg-free: If you prefer an egg-free version, substitute the egg with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water (let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens).
Crispier: If you fry them in oil, they will be crispier on the outside and soft on the inside.
With herbs: Add oregano, chopped parsley, or garlic powder for an extra touch of flavor.
