Air fryer cheese balls are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer that combines the robust flavors of cheddar, parmesan, and cottage cheese. These cheesy delights are crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, making them a hit at any gathering or a perfect indulgence for a cozy night in. With the air fryer, you can achieve a golden, crispy texture without the need for deep frying, which makes this recipe a healthier choice.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and low-fat cottage cheese. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- Add the all-purpose white wheat flour and the spice mix to the cheese mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should form a thick, cohesive dough.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until consistent.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll between your palms to form balls roughly the size of a ping-pong ball (about 1 inch in diameter). Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Dip each cheese ball into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess egg.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated cheese balls in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
- Lightly spray the top of the cheese balls with cooking spray.
- Air fry the cheese balls at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to shake the basket or flip the cheese balls halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
- Let the cheese balls cool slightly before serving. They will firm up a bit as they cool.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure the cheese balls are uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer to achieve a crispier texture.
- You can experiment with different spice mixes to customize the flavor.
- If the mixture is too wet to form balls, add a bit more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve the cheese balls hot for the best texture and flavor.
With just a few ingredients and an air fryer, you can create mouthwatering cheese balls that are sure to please any crowd. The combination of cheddar, parmesan, and cottage cheese provides a rich and savory flavor that is irresistible. Whether you're hosting a party or just craving a cheesy snack, these air fryer triple-cheese balls are a quick and satisfying option.
