Ingredients
- Cheddar cheese (sliced or cubed, as much as you like)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your cheddar cheese. If using sliced cheese, cut each slice into four pieces for a nice bite-sized portion. If you have cubed cheese, you can use it as is. Prepare as much cheese as you’d like to enjoy.
Step 2
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. This prevents the cheese from sticking later and makes cleanup much easier. Arrange the prepared cheddar cheese pieces on the parchment paper in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and then bake the cheddar cheese for about 5 minutes. You’re looking for the cheese to melt and become golden brown, with slightly crisped edges. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your cheese and your air fryer model, so keep an eye on it and adjust as needed.
Step 4
Once baked, let the cheddar cheese balls cool slightly before removing them. They can be a bit gooey if handled while too hot. Once they’ve cooled just enough to become crisp, gently peel them off the parchment paper. Your delicious cheddar cheese balls are ready! They are best enjoyed warm.
