One of the greatest air fryer fried mozzarella cheese you could make. They are made today with Air Fryer BabyBel Cheese, and they have a crispy coating and are so flavorful, wrapped around the mozzarella cheese.
These are perfect for dipping into a dish of hot marinara sauce. Serve these up anytime, perfect for football or hockey season.
Today I used BabyBel Mozzarella cheese, but any type of BabyBel would work here, and there are so many to try,
- Original Cheese
- Light Cheese
- White Cheddar Cheese
- Gouda Cheese
- Sharp Original Cheese
They will all work in this recipe, and you can seriously change it up. Next time, I think I will do a Gouda Fried Cheese because I really think my husband would love it. He is a HUGE gouda fan.
Whatever you choose for your cheese, they will be amazing, and you don’t even need to cut the cheese. They are perfect the way they are. At restaurants, these Air Fryer Babybel Cheese are called either mozzarella balls or mozzarella pearls.
Air Fryer BabyBel Cheese
Ingredients:
- BabyBel Cheese: Any variety will work. Today I went with classic mozzarella cheese.
- Flour: Used for the coating
- Salt: To season the coating
- Pepper: To season the coating
- Eggs:
- Water
- Bread Crumbs
- Parmesan Cheese
- Spices: Dried Oregano and/or dried basil
- Sauce: Today, I used a traditional marinara sauce for dipping.
Simple Directions:
- Set up three bowls for your work bowls. In one bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. The other bowl will have your egg and water mixed in the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil.
- Place the cheese into the flour, shaking off the excess, then adding it to the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, and then into the bread crumb mixture, patting it down, so they adhere to the cheese.
- As you coat the cheese, place them on a baking sheet. After you have finished breading all of the cheese, place the baking tray into the freezer.
- Freeze until they are solid, 1 to 2 hours.
- Then spray your air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Set the FROZEN cheese into the air fryer, spray with olive oil spray.
- Time 360 degrees F, for 3 minutes, flip them with a pair of tongs, spray again with olive oil, and then air fry for another 3 minutes.
Note: This recipe will not work, unless the cheese is completely frozen.
