Crispy and melty Air Fried Babybel Cheese rounds coated in crushed kettle potato chips, perfect for a quick and delicious snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Cheese

  • 10-12 Babybel cheese rounds, wrappers and wax removed

Breading

  • 2 ounces Kettle Potato Chips (or Doritos), crushed into crumbs (about 1 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese: Remove the wrappers and wax packaging from the Babybel cheese rounds, then set them aside for breading.
  2. Crush Chips: Place kettle potato chips inside a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands, aiming for around 1 cup of crumbs.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure proper cooking temperature.
  4. Set Up Dipping Stations: Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with the crushed potato chip crumbs.
  5. First Coating: Roll each cheese round in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and then roll it in the potato chip crumbs to coat completely.
  6. Second Coating: Dip the coated cheese again in the egg and then roll it once more in the chip crumbs. This double coating prevents the cheese from melting out during cooking.
  7. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spritz both sides of the breaded cheese with nonstick spray or olive oil spray. Arrange them in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch or overlap. Cook in batches if necessary.
  8. Air Fry: Cook at 400°F for 3 to 4 minutes until the coating is crispy and the cheese is melty inside.
  9. Serve: Carefully remove with tongs or a spatula and serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Notes

  • Double coating with egg and chip crumbs prevents cheese from leaking during cooking.
  • You can substitute kettle chips with Doritos or any crunchy chips you prefer.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake them in the oven at 400°F for 5 to 6 minutes instead.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and gooeyness.
  • This recipe works well as a party appetizer or snack.
