Ingredients Needed

Babybel Cheese: These small, wax-coated cheese rounds are known for their mild, creamy flavor and perfectly portioned sizes, making them an ideal base for this snack.
Doritos (any flavor): Choose your favorite flavor of Doritos to crush into a breadcrumb-like coating. Doritos’ bold and savory taste adds a flavorful crunch that perfectly complements the melted cheese.
All-Purpose Flour: A light dusting of flour on the cheese helps the egg wash stick better.
Eggs: Act as the binding agent for the Dorito crumbs, ensuring the cheesy bites are evenly coated, and the crust stays intact during air frying.
Cooking Spray: A quick cooking oil spray on the air fryer basket prevents the cheese bites from sticking and helps achieve a more even golden crust.

How To Make Babybel Doritos Air Fryer

How To Make Air Fryer Babybel Cheese Doritos

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by unwrapping the Babybel cheeses and setting them aside. Crush the Doritos into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a zip-lock bag and roll them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish. Beat 1-2 eggs in a separate shallow dish. Place the all-purpose flour in another shallow dish.

Coat the Cheese: First, roll a Babybel cheese in the flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated on all sides. This helps the egg wash to adhere better. Dip the floured cheese into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, roll the cheese in the crushed Doritos crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well. Repeat this process for each cheese. Repeat this process twice. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and freeze until frozen for 30-60 minutes.

Cook the Cheese: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Or line the basket with parchment paper. Place the coated cheeses in the basket, leaving enough space between them for air circulation. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 7-8 minutes or until the outside is crispy and golden. Monitor them to prevent the cheese from oozing out too much.

Serving: Carefully remove the Babybel Cheese Doritos from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. They will be very hot!

Babybel Doritos Air Fryer Recipes Tips

Freeze the Cheese First: Before coating and air frying, consider freezing the Babybel cheese for about 20-30 minutes.
Fine Crumb Coating: For the Doritos coating, ensure the crumbs are finely crushed.
Egg Wash is Key: The egg wash acts as the glue between the cheese and the Doritos crumbs.
Preheat Your Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the cheese.
Use Parchment Paper: If available, use parchment paper liners designed for air fryers to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Don’t Overcrowd: Place the coated cheeses in a single layer with some space between each piece.
Keep an Eye on Cooking Time: Cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the cheese.
Let Them Cool: Allow the cooked Babybel Cheese Doritos to cool for a couple of minutes after air frying.
Serve Immediately: These treats are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the air fryer, when the cheese is perfectly melted, and the Doritos coating is at its crispiest.
Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different Doritos flavors or even mix them to create your unique coating. Each variety offers a new taste experience.

Babybel Doritos Air Fryer Recipe Faqs

Can I use any type of Babybel cheese for this recipe? Yes, any variety of Babybel cheese works well for this recipe, whether it’s the original, light, or even the flavored varieties.

Do I need to freeze the Babybel cheese before air frying? While not strictly necessary, freezing the Babybel cheese for about 20-30 minutes before coating and air frying can help maintain its shape and prevent it from melting too quickly, ensuring a gooey center with a crispy exterior.

Can I use another type of chip for the coating? Absolutely! While Doritos add a unique flavor, feel free to experiment with other types of chips or even pretzels for the coating.

How do I prevent the cheese from sticking to the air fryer basket? Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or use parchment paper liners designed for air fryers.

Is it possible to make this recipe without an egg wash? The egg wash helps the Doritos crumbs adhere to the cheese. If you need an egg-free option, you can try using a light brush of olive oil or milk, although the coating may not stick as well.

How long do the Babybel Cheese Doritos keep after cooking? These are best enjoyed fresh, right after cooking, for the best texture and flavor.

Can I prepare these in advance? You can prepare the Babybel cheeses by coating them with the Doritos crumbs and then refrigerating them until you’re ready to air fry.

What dipping sauces pair well with Babybel Cheese Doritos? These cheesy bites pair wonderfully with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, spicy queso, or even a simple sriracha mayo for a bit of heat.

Can I cook these in a conventional oven if I don’t have an air fryer? Yes, you can bake them in a conventional oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake on a lined baking sheet for about 10 minutes or until the coating is crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
