Mini mozzarella balls in the air fryer are a tasty appetizer, perfect to serve at a buffet or as a delicious aperitif snack. Many people buy frozen fried mini mozzarellas but trust me it’s not worth it — you can make them at home and they’re definitely much better. If you’re wondering how to cook the mini mozzarella balls, I highly recommend trying them in the air fryer as they’re much lighter than deep-fried mini mozzarellas. You can prepare the breaded mini mozzarellas using cherry mozzarella balls or, if you can’t find them, cut a larger mozzarella into pieces. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use (I use this airfryer HERE ). I recommend checking all the air fryer recipes; you’ll certainly find other tasty dishes to try. Now let’s see how to cook the mozzarellas in the air fryer and if you try them let me know. Barbara

How to prepare Mini Mozzarella Balls in the Air Fryer

Let’s start preparing the Mini mozzarella balls in the air fryer. Pour the eggs into a plate and beat them with a fork. Put the flour on another plate and the breadcrumbs on a third plate. Take each mozzarella ball and first coat it in flour,
then in the beaten egg,
and in the breadcrumbs,
then again in the beaten egg,
and finally again in the breadcrumbs. Thanks to this double breading you’ll have mozzarellas that are crispy on the outside and soft and stringy inside.
Place the mini mozzarellas in the air fryer basket, spritz them with the oil mister and cook at 356°F for 4 minutes. Halfway through cooking, pull out the basket and shake it so the mozzarellas move and cook perfectly.
Serve the Mini mozzarella balls in the air fryer immediately so they are hot with a gooey center.
