Ingredients
-
4 ounces
goat cheese
-
2 tablespoons
all purpose flour
-
1
egg, beaten
-
1 tablespoon
fresh rosemary, finely chopped
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1/4 teaspoon
red pepper flakes (or more if you like more heat)
-
Cooking spray
-
½ cups
Panko bread crumbs
Directions
-
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.
-
Preheat the air fryer at 400° for 4 minutes.
-
Place the flour, whisked egg, and panko in 3 separate bowls. Add rosemary, salt, and red pepper flakes to the panko crumbs.
-
First lightly coat the balls in flour, dusting off any excess. Coat with the egg wash, then cover in panko crumbs.
-
Once the fryer is preheated, spray the basket with cooking spray (I use avocado oil in a Misto sprayer)
-
Place the panko-crusted goat cheese in the fryer basket and cook at 400° for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
-
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.
