Ingredients
  

  • 4 pcs eggs
  • 2 cups sweet starch
  • ¾ cup grated cheese
  • ¾ cup milk
  • cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place sweet starch in a large bowl and set it aside.
  • In a separate pot, combine milk and olive oil.
  • Bring this mixture to a boil. This can be done on medium heat, and make sure to stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking or burning.
  • Once the milk and oil mixture is boiling, carefully pour it over the sweet starch in the large bowl.
  • Use a spoon to mix the liquid mixture with the sweet starch. This will create a dough-like consistency.
  • Allow the mixture to cool for about 20 minutes. This cooling period helps the starch absorb the liquid and become workable.
  • After the mixture has cooled, add grated cheese.
  • Crack and add the 4 eggs to the mixture as well.
  • Now, knead the mixture well with your hands. Ensure that the cheese and eggs are evenly distributed throughout the dough. This will create a uniform mixture.
  • Take portions of the dough and shape them into balls. The size of the balls is up to your preference, but make sure they are consistent in size to ensure even cooking.
  • Preheat your oven to 390°F(200°C).
  • Place the dough balls on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
  • Bake the sweet starch balls in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the balls, so keep an eye on them.
  • Once the sweet starch balls are done baking, you can serve them immediately as a snack or side dish.

Notes

  • You can freeze them later by allowing them to cool completely and then storing them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
  • Ensure you use high-quality sweet starch for the best texture and flavor in your bites.
  • Check your sweet starch balls while baking, as oven times may vary. They should be golden brown when done.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties for unique flavors. You can also add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flair.
