Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to melt the butter.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the tapioca flour, stirring vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly sticky.
Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. The batter should be smooth and shiny.
Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, place mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have approximately 12 mounds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free cheese buns warm!
