Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Whisk both tapioca starches and the salt together in a large heatproof bowl.
3. Heat the milk and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until the milk just begins to boil and the oil coats the surface, 3–4 minutes.
4. Pour the hot mixture over the tapioca and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Let cool 5–8 minutes; if too dry, mix in 1–2 tsp more milk.
5. Mix in the egg by hand until sticky, then knead in both cheeses for 2–3 minutes until uniform.
6. Oil your hands, divide into 18 portions (about 2 Tbsp each), roll into smooth balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown. Let cool 2–3 minutes and serve warm.
