Ingredients
| 1 | egg (preferably large) | |
| 1 pinch | salt | |
| 1/4 cup | 60 ml | milk (whole milk for creamier results) |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | corn starch or tapioca flour (sifted) |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | grated cheese (mozzarella and parmesan blend) |
| 2 tablespoons | 30 ml | melted butter (unsalted) |
| 1 teaspoon | 5 ml | baking powder |
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg gently until it becomes frothy. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to ensure a uniform mixture.
- Add in the sifted corn starch or tapioca flour gradually, mixing continuously to avoid lumps. The dough will start to come together as you mix.
- Pour the melted butter into the mixture and incorporate it fully to keep the dough moist and easy to handle.
- Fold in the grated cheese of your choice, making sure it's distributed evenly throughout the dough for a cheesy taste in every bite.
- Finally, sprinkle the baking powder over the mixture and gently fold until fully incorporated.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using a spoon, scoop a portion of the dough and place it onto the skillet.
- Cook on each side for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, allow the cheese bread to cool slightly before serving, enhancing the texture and flavor.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a sprinkle of oregano to the dough.
- Ensure the pan is well-heated before placing the dough to achieve a nice golden crust.
- Use a variety of cheeses to experiment with different flavor profiles.
