Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cheese curds white cheddar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • homemade caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Place the eggs and granulated garlic in a bowl, and mix well.
  • Place the flour in a second bowl and the panko bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  • Dip each piece of cheese in the flour, shake off any excess flour, then into the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs. You can coat it twice.
  • Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray and preheat to 350 degrees F for 3 minutes.
  • Place the cheese curds in the air fryer basket and cook for 4 minutes.
  • Serve with honey or caramel sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to coat the cheese curds really well with the bread crumbs. You shouldn't be able to see the eggs or flour.
  • If you're using larger cheese curds cook for 4 minutes at 350 degrees, If using smaller cheese curds, cook for 3 minutes. Avoid cooking small and large cheese curds at the same time.
  • I highly recommend making these and enjoying them immediately. They taste best straight out of the air fryer but let them cool for about a minute before digging in!
  • Drizzle a little honey on top!
