Today’s my brother’s birthday! I know it’s a cheesy post from his cheesy sister lol. I love my brother and so proud of everything he’s accomplished! These are a little fancier than how I normally make fried cheese curds, but I loved the flavor. The boys in my house where on the fence about the seasoning added to the coating. I think we all agree the bell pepper tasted really good with the coating, but we like the traditional deep fried cheese curds.

Air Fryer Cheese Curds
(Adapted from airfried.com)

Printer Friendly Version

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 ounces cheese curds
Oil spray

Add the flour and salt to a shallow dish and whisk to combine.

Add the eggs to a second shallow dish and whisk well until smooth.

Add the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to a third shallow dish and whisk to combine.

Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes.

While the air fryer is preheating, dip each cheese curd first into the flour, then egg, and then the Panko.

Place the breaded cheese curds onto a baking sheet and spritz with oil spray. Spritz the air fryer basket with oil spray/

Arrange the cheese curds in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches.

Air fry for 4-6 minutes, checking around the 4 minute mark and watching every 1 minute after.
Cheese curds should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese should be melty. We pull these from the air fryer as soon as 1 or 2 have bits of cheese leaking out.

Let sit for 1-2 minutes in the air fryer before serving.

Notes
Air fryer tend to cook a bit differently, so we check these at the 4 minute mark and just keep a close eye on them. They go pretty quickly.

Serve with ranch dressing as a dip.
