Ingredients

8 cheese sticks or thick fingers, chilled or frozen
3 tbsp flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ tsp oregano (optional)
Ketchup, to serve (optional)
Oil spray

Steps

Coat each cheese stick in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg and crumb step for a thicker crust.
Freeze for at least 30 min — this stops the cheese leaking out.
Spray with oil and air fry at 200°C for 6–8 min, turning once, until golden. Watch closely near the end.

Tip: Skipping the freeze step is the #1 reason these burst. Don’t rush it.
