Ingredients

  • 6 Babybel cheese rounds
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Unwrap the Babybel cheese and set aside.
  2. Create a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and mix breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning and garlic powder in a third bowl.
  3. Roll each Babybel round in flour, dip in egg, and coat thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
  4. Place the coated cheese in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  6. Lightly spray the frozen cheese bites with olive oil and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  7. Air fry for 5–6 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Serve immediately.

Notes

Freeze the coated Babybel for at least 30 minutes to prevent cheese from oozing out during cooking. You can use flavored Babybel varieties for an extra twist.
