In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, egg, and water until you have a smooth batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, spreading it evenly with a paper towel to cover the skillet's surface.
Pour the crepioca batter into the skillet, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cook the batter for approximately 2-3 minutes or until the edges lift easily and the underside is golden brown.
Carefully flip the crepioca and place the slice of low sodium cheese on one half of the crepioca.
Fold the crepioca in half to cover the cheese and allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly.
Transfer the crepioca to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper before serving. Serve immediately while warm.
