Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 10 Babybel round cheeses (unwrapped and wax removed)

Breading

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flour: Add all-purpose flour into a shallow bowl or plate for the first dredging step.
  2. Whisk the eggs: Beat the eggs together in a separate shallow bowl to create an egg wash for coating.
  3. Mix the breadcrumb seasoning: In a third bowl, combine the Italian bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and ground pepper; mix thoroughly for even seasoning.
  4. Unwrap cheese: Remove any paper or wax from all Babybel cheese rounds to prepare for breading.
  5. First coat with flour: Dredge each Babybel cheese round in flour, gently tapping off any excess to ensure a light coating.
  6. First egg wash: Dip the floured cheese into the whisked eggs, coating both sides completely.
  7. First breadcrumb coat: Coat the egg-dipped cheese with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides thoroughly.
  8. Second egg wash and breadcrumb coat: Repeat dipping each cheese round into the egg wash and then into the breadcrumbs once more to achieve a double coating for extra crispiness.
  9. Complete breading: Continue the double breading process for all cheese rounds evenly.
  10. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  11. Arrange cheese in basket: Place the breaded cheese rounds in the air fryer basket carefully, making sure they do not touch to allow air circulation.
  12. Air fry cheese: Cook the cheese rounds in the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes until golden and crispy on the outside.
  13. Serve hot: Carefully remove the cheese rounds using tongs and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melty inside.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove all wax from the Babybel cheeses before breading to ensure proper coating.
  • Double coating with egg and breadcrumbs creates a crispier crust that holds the melted cheese inside.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation and crisping.
  • Serve immediately for the best melty and crispy texture.
  • Use tongs to handle hot cheese rounds to avoid burns and maintain their shape.
