Peel yuca and cut into chunks.

In a pot, add yuca, salt, and water, then cook until tender.

Chop the cooked egg into cubes and mix with the ground meat and cheese, then set aside.

Drain yuca and remove any veins, then add butter and mash into a puree.

Mix in corn starch, pepper, and continue mixing until combined.

With clean hands, form small patties with the yuca puree.

Fill each patty with the meat mixture, seal them, and set aside.

Beat the raw egg in a bowl.

Dip each filled patty first in the egg, then in flour, then again in the egg, and finally in bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the patties until golden brown.

Serve and enjoy.
