-Pour olive oil, water, milk, and salt into a large saucepan, and place over high heat.
-When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat immediately, and stir in tapioca flour and garlic until smooth. Set aside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
-Stir the cheese and egg into the tapioca mixture until well combined, the mixture will be chunky like cottage cheese.
-Drop rounded, 1/8 cup (43g) -sized balls of the mixture onto an ungreased/parchment paper lined baking sheet.
-Bake in preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
