What Is Babybel Cheese?

Cheese is a dairy product that is made from milk and cream. It is typically used in meals as a condiment, an ingredient, or as part of a dish. There are numerous types of cheese available on the market, but one lesser-known variety is Babybel cheese. Babybel cheese is made by Bel Group and comes in small rounds that resemble baby bells. In this blog post, we will explore what Babybel cheese is made of, its nutritional value, and some recipes that include it. Let’s get started!

Today I used BabyBel Mozzarella cheese, but any 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, it will be amazing, and you don’t even need to cut the cheese. They are perfect the way they are. These Air Fryer Babybel Cheese at restaurants are called mozzarella balls or mozzarella pearls.

Babybel Fried Cheese Bites

Do you love fried cheese? I know I do! And, it’s so easy to make at home. These Babybel Fried Cheese Bites are the perfect appetizer for your next party. Plus, they’re kid-friendly and taste great served with a side of marinara sauce. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get cooking!

Air Fried Babybel Cheese Ingredients

  • BabyBel Cheese: Any variety will work. Today I went with classic mozzarella cheese.
  • Flour: Used for the coating
  • Eggs:
  • Water
  • Bread Crumbs or Panko
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Spices: Dried Oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Serving: Marinara sauce for dipping.

How To Make Air Fryer Babybel Cheese

Air Fryer Babybel Cheese
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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, air fryer setting, 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.

Ingredient Notes:

Cheese: I will tell you, I love getting a big bag of Babybel from Costco or Trader Joe’s. These go so quickly that you won’t be able to keep up. The Babybel Cheese comes in a variety of flavors, and this would be a great way to do a variety of different cheeses for your next party or get-together.

Breadcrumbs: Any bread crumb or panko will work in this recipe. I love using Italian Breadcrumbs, which are already infused with flavor. But some other options:

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs. My favorites are 4C Premium Bread Crumbs or Michelle Farms Gluten-Free Italian Bread Crumbs.

Keto or Low-Carb Options: Use grounded pork rinds or Appel Foods-Nut Crumbs, which are sugar-free, low-carb, and a great breading alternative when you are doing keto.

Flour: If you are doing a gluten-free or keto (or low-carb) version of these, make sure to use the flour that would match your diet.

Seasonings: I love adding some hot sauce to the egg mixture, or some cayenne pepper, for some heat. But you can also add fresh herbs to make these pop in your mouth.

Recipe Notes:

Frozen: You need to make sure that these Babybel cheese are solid before air frying them. Otherwise, the cheese will melt, and you will end up with a mess in your air fryer.

Spray: If you want the golden color on top of this Babybel cheese, make sure to spray generously with cooking spray.

Crowding: Do not crowd your air fryer basket; otherwise, they will not give crisp up correctly. Leave plenty of space around the cheese, so they cook up perfectly.

Fliping: Depending on your air fryer, you may need to flip them halfway during the cooking process. This will depend on the heating source on your air fryer.

What Dipping Sauces Should I Serve?

When it comes to appetizers, there’s nothing quite like a good dipping sauce to whet your appetite. Whether you’re serving up some air-fried Babybel, you’ll need something to dunk them in. But what are the best dipping sauces to choose from?

Here are some of my favorites:

  • HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE RECIPE
  • EASY SWEET CHILI SAUCE
  • SMOKEY SOUTHERN COMEBACK SAUCE
  • ALFREDO DIP
  • HOMEMADE BLUE-CHEESE DRESSING

Can I Make Air-Fried Babybel Cheese Ahead of Time?

The best part is that you can make them ahead of time and then just air fry them when you’re ready to eat.

Prepare as directed, and then freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze them until they are frozen solid. Remove and place them into a freezer bag. They will last for about 2 to 3 months.
