Breaded cheese sticks from the air fryer

⏱ 37 min · 🍽️ 4 Servings · 🧂 7 Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 400 g Gouda (young, in one piece)
  • 80 g plain flour (type 405)
  • 2 piece eggs (medium)
  • 200 g breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Cut the Gouda into batons 2 cm thick and about 6 cm long.
  2. Put the plain flour into a shallow bowl, beat the eggs in a second and mix the breadcrumbs with the sweet paprika and the salt in a third.
  3. Turn the batons in the flour, draw them through the egg and roll them in the breadcrumbs, then take them through the egg and the breadcrumbs a second time. A single coating splits in the hot airflow and the cheese runs through the basket.
  4. Lay the sticks side by side on a plate and put them in the freezer. Cold cheese melts more slowly than the coating browns, and that is exactly what matters here.
  5. Brush the sticks thinly all over with the rapeseed oil and preheat the air fryer to 190 °C.
  6. Cut a piece of baking paper to the size of the basket and lay it in. The paper must not stick out over the rim and has to be weighed down by the food, otherwise it flies into the fan.
  7. Set the sticks on the baking paper in a single layer with space around them and do not stack anything; cook larger quantities in two batches. Cook at 190 °C.
  8. Turn the sticks carefully with a spatula and carry on cooking at 190 °C until the coating is golden brown all over.

Breaded cheese sticks from the air fryer

A German party recipe for the whole country: young Gouda is cut into batons, coated twice, frozen briefly and turned golden brown in the air fryer in a good nine minutes. When you pull them apart the cheese draws long strands, while the crust cracks audibly on the outside. The basket saves you the deep fat and the long preheat of the oven, but asks for the double coating and the detour via the freezer in return.
