INGREDIENTS :
6 mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese)
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2-3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup all purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS :
Cut each piece of string cheese in half and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the eggs in a second bowl and add the flour to a third bowl.
Dip each piece of cheese into the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumb mixture. Be sure it is fully coated each time.
Dip the coated mozzarella stick back into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture again.
Spray air fryer basket with olive oil using an oil mister (**do NOT use aerosol cooking spray, as it can damage the inside of the basket**).
Place mozzarella sticks in air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd, and air fry at 400° for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Watch carefully to be sure they don’t overcook!
Repeat as necessary until all mozzarella sticks are done.
