Instructions

  1. 1. Cut the cheddar into sticks about 5 cm long and 1 cm thick. Important: Don't cut them too thin, or they'll melt too quickly.
  2. 2. Place the cheese sticks on a tray and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes. This prevents them from leaking during cooking.
  3. 3. Whisk the egg in a shallow bowl with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. This helps the seasoning dissolve better.
  4. 4. Put 50 g flour in a second shallow bowl. The flour provides the first layer for adhesion.
  5. 5. Pour 100 g panko breadcrumbs into a third shallow bowl. Panko makes the surface extra crispy.
  6. 6. Take the frozen cheese sticks out and dip them one by one in the flour first. Shake off any excess flour.
  7. 7. Immediately dip the floured sticks into the egg mixture. Make sure they are coated all over.
  8. 8. Roll the wet sticks vigorously in the panko breadcrumbs. Press the crumbs on firmly so they don't fall off.
  9. 9. Place the breaded sticks back on the tray and return them to the freezer for 5 minutes. This sets the breading.
  10. 10. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This is important for immediate crust formation.
  11. 11. Place the cheese sticks in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch. They need space for the hot air.
  12. 12. Cook the sticks at 180 °C for 8 minutes. Turn them carefully after 4 minutes so both sides become golden brown.
  13. 13. Take the sticks out and place them on a tray lined with baking paper. This absorbs excess fat.
  14. 14. Let the cheese sticks rest for 2 minutes before you touch them. This solidifies the breading and prevents burning your mouth.
  15. 15. Serve the sticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Perfect: The crust cracks, the cheese is liquid.
