Air Fryer Cheese Curds
Crispy air fryer cheese curds are the ultimate appetizer! Piping hot and served with your favorite dipping sauce, it's the perfect starter.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cheese curds
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, combine the eggs and water, whisking to combine.
- Place the cheese curds in a large bowl and add the flour. Toss well to coat. Dredge the curds through the egg, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring they are fully and evenly coated. Repeat the process a second time, double coating them in egg and crumbs. Place on a large plate.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees then place half of the breaded cheese curds in an even layer in the basket. Spray the tops with cooking spray and air fry at 400 degrees F for 5-6 minutes until heated through.
- Repeat with remaining cheese curds, then serve with marinara sauce.
