Description

If you love Olive Garden’s Fried Mozzarella Appetizer, you will love this air fryer version. Now you can make it right in your air fryer with this copycat recipe. This is my easy version of Air Fryer Olive Garden Fried Mozzarella.

Ingredients 

  • 16 ounces mozzarella cheese, whole
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  • Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
  • Cut your mozzarella into about 1-inch pieces.
  • In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs and water.
  • Mix the Italian breadcrumbs, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning in another small bowl.
  • Dip your mozzarella slices into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumb mixture.
  • As you coat the mozzarella slices, place them on the baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  • Then coat again with the egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture.
  • Freeze them for another 30 minutes.
  • Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
  • Set them into the air fryer for 6-8 minutes at 390 degrees, air fryer setting. Spray the breading with olive oil, which will help them crisp up.
