RecipesFried cheese in an air fryer
Recipe for Fried Cheese in an Air Fryer is referred to by some of us Czechs as a national dish. Specifically, ordinary fried cheese is said to be more traditional than, for example, roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut. We don’t know, and we don’t want to judge, but the fact is that fried cheese in an air fryer is one of the healthier versions of this delicacy. Moreover, fried cheese in an air fryer has one more major advantage. You can make more cheese at once than in a pan, so everyone gets a fresh fried cheese, still melting piece. And that is very, very important.
For the fried cheese in an air fryer recipe, you should preferably use a fattier cheese, at least 45%. If you are struggling with a naughty cheese that likes to escape from the breadcrumbs, coat it in egg and breadcrumbs once more. Another trick that works for leaking fried cheese is a brief stay of the breaded cheese in the freezer.

Ingredients (what you need)
2 slices cheese
1 egg
flour (plain)
breadcrumbs
a little oil

If you opt for frying the cheese in a pan, heat the oil well until bubbles form on it. Fried cheese in an air fryer will be ready in about 5 minutes. Set the fryer according to the type and manufacturer. In addition to canola or sunflower oil, you can also use coconut or even olive oil for frying in the fryer.

Serve fried cheese from the air fryer with boiled potatoes, fries, or in a bun.
