Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Coating Stations by setting up three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, a second with the eggs whisked with milk, and the last with panko breadcrumbs seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Unwrap each Babybel cheese round, pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Bread the cheese rounds by rolling each in the flour mixture, dipping in the egg wash, and coating with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
- Chill the coated cheese rounds in a single layer on a plate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and grease the basket with olive oil spray.
- Arrange the chilled cheese rounds in a single layer in the air fryer, spritz the tops with olive oil spray.
- Cook the cheese rounds for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
- Once golden and crispy, let the cheese rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes
Chill for success by ensuring to chill the coated cheese rounds to prevent melting; consider double coating for extra crunch.
