Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package Babybel cheese (12 pieces)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese: Unwrap each Babybel cheese, removing the red wax rind carefully while keeping the shape intact.
- Set up breading stations: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs in a second bowl, and put the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Coat the cheese: Dredge each Babybel cheese first in the flour, tapping off any excess, then dip it into the whisked eggs ensuring a full coating, and finally roll it in the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs to evenly coat each piece.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.
- Air fry the cheese: Place the breaded Babybel cheeses in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch, to promote even crisping. Cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately: Remove carefully from the air fryer and serve hot for the best melty cheesy experience.
Notes
- For extra crunch, double dip in the egg and breadcrumbs.
- Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Handle the Babybel cheese gently after removing the wax to keep them intact.
- Times may vary depending on your air fryer model; monitor closely to avoid burning.
- This recipe serves 12 pieces, ideal for snacking or appetizers.
