Instructions

- Coat each mozzarella cube first in flour, then dip in egg, then roll thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the prepared bites for extra cheesy flavor and texture.
- Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 to 400°F. Use a Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to line the tray. Arrange the bites in a single layer, spraying lightly with oil.
- Air fry for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and the cheese is just starting to ooze. Serve immediately. (Alternatively, bake at 425°F on a prepared sheet or pan-fry in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet for 2–3 minutes per side.)
