1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan, combine the milk, water, oil, and salt, and bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
3. Pour the hot liquid over the tapioca flour in a large bowl and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a sticky paste forms; let it cool for 10 minutes.
4. Beat in the egg until fully absorbed, then knead in the grated cheese until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky.
5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 24) and arrange them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rolls are puffed, golden, and crisp on the outside; serve warm.
