Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your breading station with three shallow bowls: one for seasoned flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one for panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Unwrap and gently pat dry the Babybel cheese rounds to remove excess moisture.
  3. Coat each cheese round in seasoned flour, dip into the egg wash, then roll in panko breadcrumbs again for extra crunch.
  4. Chill the coated cheese rounds on a parchment-lined tray for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and lightly grease the basket with olive oil spray.
  6. Place the chilled Babybel rounds in the air fryer basket in a single layer and lightly spray the tops with oil. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. Remove from air fryer, let rest for 1-2 minutes, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve with dipping sauces.
