Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 large egg

1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

Cooking spray

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and softened cream cheese. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

    In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

      In another bowl, beat the large egg until smooth.

        Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

          Using your hands, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and form it into small balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet.

            Once all cheese balls are formed, roll each one in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides.

              Dip each floured cheese ball into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.

                Roll each ball in the seasoned breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.

                  Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

                    Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the cheese bites in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. You may need to do this in batches.

                      Air fry the cheese bites for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

                        Carefully remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a moment before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
