Crispy Air Fryer Mozzarella Balls

Contents hide

If you are using mozzarella balls, then separate them. If you plan to use mozzarella sticks, then cut each mozzarella stick into 3 equal parts.

Take 3 Mixing Bowls. In one bowl, add All Purpose Flour + Cornflour and mix well. In the second bowl, add 2 eggs and whisk well till they are mixed. Further in the third bowl, add Panko Breadcrumbs + Italian Seasoning + Salt & Black Pepper. Mix well.
LINE THE BOWLS UP – Now set these 3 bowls with the respective ingredients in an assembly line in this order – Flour Bowl then Whisked Eggs Bowl and then Breadcrumbs Bowl.
FIRST COATING STEP – Further pick 1 mozzarella ball with a Small Kitchen Tong and then drench it completely from all the sides in the flour mix. Now dip this flour coated mozzarella ball in the ehisked eggs and coat from all the sides. Pick these with tongs and then place these in the breadcrumbs bowl. Roll & Press it in the breadcrumb tightly and coat from all the sides. Set it on a plate lined with parchemnt paper. Finish all the Mozzarella Balls Likewise.
SECOND COATING STEP – Now is the time for second coating. This is important to seal the cheese inside properly. For the second coating you need Egg Bath and Breadcrumb coating. Pick the coated mozzarella ball and dip in egg bath and then roll it toghtly again in the breadcrumbs. Use hands to seal the crumbs tightly. WATCH THE VIDEO.

Once you finish preparing all the mozzarella balls, plate them up and then put the plate in freezer for 30 minutes minimum.

Preheat the airfryer. I use Instant Vortex Air fryer and it requires pre-heating. I recommend it for even cooking.
Further take out the air fryer basket and line it with air fryer parchment paper. Now place the frozen mozzarella bites on the parchment paper. Place these little spaced out. Depending upon the size of your airfryer, you might have to do 2 batches.
Spray these with Olive Oil Spray. Or coat them gently with pastry brush with olive oil.
AIR FRY at 350*F for about 5-8 minutes. The time can vary depending upon your airfryer brand. Flip the mozzarella balls gently in between. for even cooking.
Once browned nicely from all the sides, these are done. If you see a few of them leaking cheese, it is normal. You can still pick these up and gobble. Kids won’t leave anything behind, I promise.

Prep the mozzarella balls as instructed above. Freeze these for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven at 400*F. Bake these for 20-22 minutes till golden brown from all the sides. Make sure to flip them after 10 minutes for even baking.
