  • Serving 2-4
  • Preparation 50
  • Cooking 6-8

Ingredients

  • Very cold cheese curds (important to prevent excessive melting)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk

  • Breadcrumbs (ideally panko)
  • Seasonings of your choice: paprika, garlic powder, pepper, dried herbs
  • (Optional) A bit of grated parmesan in the breadcrumb mix for extra umami

This simple and festive recipe is perfect for sharing. These crispy bites highlight our organic cheese curds, made from pasture-raised cow’s milk, pasteurized, gluten-free, and made without animal rennet. Coated in a golden crust and air-fried for maximum crunch without deep frying, these little delights are irresistible. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Preparation

  1. Set up your breading station: Bowl 1: flour, Bowl 2: beaten egg mixed with milk, Bowl 3: panko breadcrumbs mixed with your chosen spices
  2. Bread the cheese curds: Dip each curd in flour → egg mixture → panko.
  3. Repeat the egg + panko steps for a double coating (recommended for better coverage).
  4. Freeze the curds: Freeze the breaded curds for 30 minutes to help prevent melting during cooking.
  5. Cook in the air fryer at 390°F (200°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Lightly spray with oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Serve

Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
