Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine cassava flour, mozzarella, egg, and salt in a bowl. Mix with your hands until dough forms.
Step 3
Scoop dough into 8 walnut-sized balls. Flatten each slightly and place on parchment 2 inches apart.
Step 4
Drizzle balls lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle queso fresco over each one.
Step 5
Bake 12–14 minutes until golden brown and puffy; tops should look set and barely firm.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a plate. Serve warm.
