Sink your teeth in this viral TikTok recipe in just under 10 minutes. Plus, this recipe is totally vegan and plant-based dietary adaptable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 Babybel Cheese, 100g Mozzerella Cheese (approx. 20g per piece) or vegan cheese
  • 1/2 C AP Flour
  • 1/2 C Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 3 tbsp Egg Alternative Liquid or 2 Eggs

 

Optional:

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the dredging station.
  2. Unwrap and remove BabyBel cheese from their wax casings. Place in a shallow bowl.
  3. Add AP flour into a separate shallow bowl.
  4. Add egg or egg alternative into a separate bowl. If using chicken eggs, beat well.
  5. Add panko bread crumbs to another shallow mixing bowl. Add seasoning, such as garlic powder, if desired. Mix well.
  6. Dredge mozzarella cheese into all-purpose flour first. Gently tap off excess.
  7. Next, dip floured cheese into beaten egg or alternative egg mixture and coat both sides.
  8. Then, dunk each piece of cheese dredged with egg into the panko breadcrumb mixture and coat both sides.
  9. Repeat the process twice for an extra crispy crust by dredging into eggs (or eggs substitute) and panko breadcrumbs. Omit dredging in AP flour the second time.
  10. Repeat for remaining cheese rounds.
  11. Preheat the air fryer to 400F for a few minutes.
  12. Use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the basket for easy clean-ups.
  13. Spray the air fryer with cooking oil spray. We like using this pure avocado oil in a cooking oil spray bottle!
  14. Add panko bread crumb-coated cheese rounds to the air fryer basket.
  15. Air Fry Cheese at 400F for 5 minutes.
  16. The cooking time is 5 minutes, but depending on the air fryer model and the size of your air fryer, you may adjust the time to 4 or 6 mins of cooking time. I use THIS Ninja Foodi Air Fryer!
  17. Flipping the cheese in the middle of the cooking process is unnecessary.
  18. Remove carefully with kitchen tongs!
  19. Serve warm while melty alone or with your favourite dipping sauce like ketchup or marinara pizza sauce!

Equipment

Notes

  • Use a rolling pin to crush Doritos chips or cornflakes if it substitutes for panko breadcrumbs.
  • With all fried mozzarella sticks or fried Babybel cheese, it generally will return to its original state once the cheese cools.
