Ingredients:
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 triple-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.
