Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Line a small sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it.
Step 2
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl until fully combined, ~30 seconds.
Step 3
Add tapioca starch, cheddar, and parmesan to the bowl and fold gently until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Oil your hands lightly and pinch off golf-ball-sized pieces of dough. Roll gently into balls and arrange on the pan.
Step 5
Bake until puffed and golden brown, ~12 minutes. Tops should look dry and glossy.
Step 6
Serve warm straight from the oven. They will deflate slightly as they cool but stay chewy inside.
