If you like our squeaky cheese curds, you will love these air fryer cheese curds! We used our white cheddar curds, but you could use any flavor of cheese curds that’s your favorite!

Air Fryer Cheese Curds

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 eggs beaten

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

• 1 cup regular breadcrumbs

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 12 oz Dan and Debbie’s cheese curds 

• cooking oil spray

Instructions

• Place the flour in a bowl. Place the beaten eggs in a second bowl. Place the panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a third bowl. Whisk to combine.

• Place the cheese curds in the flour, a few a time. Toss until the cheese curds are covered and shake off any excess.

• Place the floured cheese curds in the beaten eggs. Mix until the cheese curds are covered, letting any excess drip off.

• Add the cheese curds to the breadcrumb mixture, tossing to coat them completely. Place the cheese curds on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and repeat with remaining cheese curds.

• Freeze the cheese curds for 30 minutes.

• Place the breaded cheese curds in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if need be. Spray the top with oil.

• Air fry at 380°F for 5-6 minutes, until the breading is golden and the cheese curds are melted in the center.

• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
