Name: Pão de queijo waffles (Brazilian cheese bread)
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 1 egg (50 g / 1¾ oz); ½ cup tapioca starch, sweet or sour polvilho (60 g / 2 oz); ¼ cup plain yogurt, or coconut milk (61.3 g / 2¼ oz); 1 tbsp olive oil (13.5 g); 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, cheesy flavor (10 g); 1 pinch salt (1 g); ½ tsp baking powder (2 g)

Rico's note: It really tastes like pão de queijo, but it's ready in the time it takes to make coffee — the waffle iron is just there for that extra crunch.
