Is there anything better than fried cheese?? Only if it's made in the air fryer and therefore healthy!

- 1 egg, beaten

Directions
- Step 1
Divide goat cheese into 8 pieces, and roll them into balls. Place on a plate or tray and stick in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Step 2
Preheat the air fryer at 400° for 4 minutes.
- Step 3
Place the flour, whisked egg, and panko in 3 separate bowls. Add rosemary, salt, and red pepper flakes to the panko crumbs.
- Step 4
First lightly coat the balls in flour, dusting off any excess. Coat with the egg wash, then cover in panko crumbs.
- Step 5
Once the fryer is preheated, spray the basket with cooking spray (I use avocado oil in a Misto sprayer)
- Step 6
Place the panko-crusted goat cheese in the fryer basket and cook at 400° for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 7
The cheese will be super melty when they first come out, making them hard to remove from the basket. Set the basket on a kitchen towel and let the fritters cool down a bit before removing them gently with a fork.
