Heat the oven to 220°C.
Bring the milk, butter, and salt to the boiling point.
Add the tapioca starch and stir vigorously.
Let the dough cool for 8 minutes so the eggs do not cook.
Beat in the eggs one by one, then add the cheese.
Shape the dough into small balls and arrange them on a tray.
Bake the pao de queijo balls for 30 minutes until puffed and golden.
💡 Tip: Adding the eggs only after the dough has cooled keeps them from scrambling and splitting the dough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot from the oven with coffee or a breakfast plate.
