Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for coating Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Cut the low-fat mozzarella cheese into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch each side.
In a shallow dish, place the whole wheat flour. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
Take each cheese cube and coat it lightly with flour, then dip it into the egg whites, making sure to cover all sides.
Next, roll the cheese cube in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat this process with all the cheese cubes.
Place the breaded cheese cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray the cheese cubes with non-stick cooking spray on all sides to enhance crispiness.
Place the cubes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the cheese cubes in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately while hot, as they are best when fresh and the cheese is still soft inside.
