What You Will Need

  • (2) 6 oz. bags Yancey's Fancy Buffalo Wing Cheddar Cheese Curds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
  • Cooking oil spray

What To Do

1. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko.
2. Bread the curds: Roll curds in flour, dip in egg, then coat with panko, shaking off excess. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
3. Freeze for 15-20 minutes: This step is crucial to prevent the cheese from melting before the crust gets crispy.
4. Air Fry: Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil. Fry at 350°F for 3 minutes, shake the basket, and fry for another 2-3 minutes until golden.
5. Serve immediately with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
