Add the tapioca flour and the salt to a large bowl, whisk to combine and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses and the eggs and set aside. Add the milk and the oil to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer on stove top over medium heat. When the liquid simmers, remove the pan from heat, and immediately pour the hot liquid into the tapioca mixture and using a wooden spoon, stir to combine - the mixture will not be homogeneous, it'll be gummy and clumpy. Wait 5-10 minutes until the tapioca mixture is cool to touch, and only then add the cheese and egg mixture to the tapioca mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon, or your hands to combine. Now you should have a homogeneous mixture and it should come together as a ball. You'll still see some white tapioca specks in the dough - don't worry, that's totally normal! Oil your hands, then scoop some dough portions, roll it into balls, and arrange them in a baking sheet spacing them apart from one another. Bake until golden brown, approximately 30-35 minutes. Bom Apetite!
