Mac and Cheese Bites
Mix the cold, firm mac and cheese with the grated cheddar, roll it into 20 walnut-sized balls and freeze them for 15 minutes so they keep their shape.
Ingredients
- 500 g prepared mac and cheese, chilled and firm
- 50 g cheddar, grated
- 100 g panko breadcrumbs
- 60 g plain flour
- 2 piece eggs, beaten
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
Steps
- Mix the cold, firm mac and cheese with the grated cheddar, roll it into 20 walnut-sized balls and freeze them for 15 minutes so they keep their shape.
- Season the flour with smoked paprika and salt, then roll each ball in flour, beaten egg and panko until fully coated.
- Spray or brush the bites with oil and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 200°C for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until deep golden and crisp all over.
