First of all, cut the cheese in thick slices or sticks;
Then, crack the eggs into a bowl and make an egg wash using a whisk. Add salt and black pepper
Gently add flour until you create a thick composition. Incorporate the flour with the whisk
Place the breadcrumbs into a different bowl
Soak the slices/ sticks or cheese into the eggs and flour mixture
Make sure the cheese slices/ sticks are completely covered with the mixture
Transfer the cheese covered with mixture into the bowl with breadcrumbs and coat the cheese on each side
Place each slice/ stick of coated cheese on a plate
Once you finished coating all the slices/ stick of cheese with breadcrumbs, place them into freezing bags
Gently release the air from the bags, but make sure the slices/ sticks don’t stick together
Place the bag into the freezer for2 hours
After this time, pour vegetable oil into the pan and heat it. I recommend you to use approx. 0.5 cm deep oil in the pan.If you want to make air fried cheese sticks / slices, preheat the air fryer at 180℃ (356℉) for 5-10 minutes.
Place each slice / stick of cheese into the heated oil and fry it for approx. 3-5 minutes on each side. Make sure to flip the cheese slice using 2 grill spatulas, this way you will not pinch the crust and cause the leaking of the melted cheese.If you air fry the cheese slices / sticks, cook them for approx. 3-5 minutes on each side. Depending on the performance of your air fryer, there is a chance that you don’t need to flip the cheese slices.
Serve the fried cheese with your favorite side dish or a side salad
