Yield: 4–8 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 8 eggroll wraps
- 8 mozzarella string cheese “sticks”
- Sauce for dipping
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to create an egg wash. This will serve as the adhesive to seal the eggroll wraps.
- Wrap the Mozzarella: Lay out the eggroll wraps and moisten the edges with the egg wash. Place one mozzarella string cheese stick near one end of each wrap.
- Fold and Seal: Fold in the sides of the eggroll wraps over the ends of the cheese stick. Then, roll up the wrap tightly, using the egg wash to seal the edge and prevent any cheese from oozing out during cooking.
- Brush and Seal: Brush the outside of each wrapped mozzarella stick with the egg wash, pressing gently to ensure it’s sealed well. This will help the wraps turn golden and crispy during cooking.
- Prep for Air Frying: Arrange the wrapped mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook the Mozzarella Sticks: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and cook the mozzarella sticks for about 5 minutes. If needed, cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes until they achieve a beautiful golden brown and crispy exterior.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: Once the mozzarella sticks are cooked to perfection, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Whether you prefer classic marinara, zesty ranch, sweet apple jelly, or any other sauce you adore, these cheese sticks are the perfect canvas for dipping creativity.
