Step 1
The process of making your air, fried macaroni and cheese balls is quite simple. Begin by preparing your macaroni and cheese or use leftover mac & cheese. Shape the cooled and prepared mac & cheese into balls or squares.
Step 2
Then into a small mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs and milk. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together breadcrumbs in Italian seasoning.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (176.7°C).
Step 4
When your mac & cheese has been rolled into balls, take each ball, and first dip it into the egg and milk mixture, let it drip, then dip it into the breadcrumb mixture, rolling it, so that the entire ball is covered in breadcrumbs. Then place each prepared mac & cheese baked into the air fryer basket. Repeat this process until all of your mac & cheese balls are in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between each ball.
Step 5
Close your air fryer, and air fry your mac & cheese bites for 5 minutes. Turn them over, or shake the basket to rotate them, and continue air frying for another 5 to 8 minutes or until your mac & cheese bites are done to your preference.
Step 6
Once your mac and cheese balls are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer basket, then serve right away and enjoy.
