Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Cut the Gruyère cheese into small, about 1 cm cubes. Important: Don't cut it too small, so it doesn't burn immediately.
  2. 2. Cut the 30 g butter into 4 equal pieces. This helps it melt faster and more evenly.
  3. 3. Put the butter pieces into a small saucepan and melt it over medium heat. Stir until the butter is liquid and foamy.
  4. 4. Add the 100 g cornflakes to the melted butter. Turn them immediately, so each flake is thinly coated.
  5. 5. Sprinkle 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp salt over the flakes. Stir vigorously until the seasoning sticks everywhere.
  6. 6. Put the seasoned cornflakes into a large bowl. Spread them out flat, so they don't lie too close together.
  7. 7. Sprinkle the 100 g Gruyère cubes evenly over the warm cornflakes. Save the remaining cheese for later in the air fryer.
  8. 8. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes. Hot air is important for crispiness.
  9. 9. Put the mixture into the air fryer basket. Make sure it isn't stacked too high, so the air can circulate.
  10. 10. Cook the popcorn in the air fryer at 180 °C for 5 minutes. Turn the mixture thoroughly after 2.5 minutes.
  11. 11. Take the basket out and shake the popcorn vigorously. This distributes the melted cheese threads evenly.
  12. 12. Let the popcorn rest in the basket for 2 minutes. This makes the cheese firm and crispy instead of sticky.
  13. 13. Put the finished cheese popcorn into a large bowl. It’s perfect when it’s golden brown and crunchy.
