Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Coat the cheese in flour, egg, then breadcrumbs; repeat egg and crumbs for a thicker coat.
- Freeze 30 minutes so the cheese doesn't leak.
- Air fry at 390°F for 6-7 minutes until golden.
- Serve with warm sauce.
Swaps
- Out of breadcrumbs? Crush crackers or toast and pulse stale bread, or use rolled oats.
- No jarred sauce? Simmer a can of crushed tomatoes with garlic, oil and salt for 10 minutes.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
