Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Combine cassava flour, mozzarella, egg, and salt in a bowl. Mix with your hands until dough forms.

  3. Step 3

    Scoop dough into 8 walnut-sized balls. Flatten each slightly and place on parchment 2 inches apart.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle balls lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle queso fresco over each one.

  5. Step 5

    Bake 12–14 minutes until golden brown and puffy; tops should look set and barely firm.

  6. Step 6

    Cool 2 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a plate. Serve warm.
