Ingredients:

• 1 package Babybel cheese
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, whisked
• 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

Directions:

1. Preparation:
   • Start by removing the wrapper and wax from each Babybel cheese. Set the cheese rounds aside.
2. Set Up Dipping Stations:
   • Arrange three shallow bowls for coating. Place the flour in the first bowl, the whisked eggs in the second, and the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs in the third.
3. Coat the Cheese:
   • Dip each cheese round first into the flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated.
   • Next, dip the floured cheese into the eggs, making sure it’s fully covered. This helps the breadcrumbs stick.
   • Finally, coat the cheese thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, you may choose to double dip the cheese into the eggs and breadcrumbs again.
4. Air Fry:
   • Lightly spritz the breaded cheese rounds with olive oil spray to ensure they crisp up nicely.
   • Place the cheese rounds in the air fryer basket, spaced apart to avoid touching or overlapping. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
   • Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the crispy cheese bites from the air fryer and serve them immediately while they’re warm and gooey inside.

Additional Tips:

• Serving Suggestions: Serve these crispy cheese rounds with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, or drizzle them with a little honey for a sweet and salty flavor.
• Storage: These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp up again.
