Tapioca com Queijo

Tapioca com Queijo is a delightful Brazilian snack made with tapioca flour and filled with creamy cheese, offering a gluten-free and low-carb option perfect for keto diets. This savory treat is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, making it an irresistible snack.

Ingredients

• Tapioca flour - 120 grams
• Water - 150 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Butter - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the tapioca flour, water, and salt until it forms a smooth batter without lumps.
2. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to hydrate the flour.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet.
4. Pour half of the tapioca batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin pancake.
5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
6. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese over one half of the tapioca pancake.
7. Fold the pancake over to create a half-moon shape and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and cheese to make the second serving.
9. Serve hot and enjoy your Tapioca com Queijo!
