The air fryer is what makes this recipe magical. A kitchen gadget I love thanks to its ability to fry things while not using oil. Giving it a deliciously crisp taste without the unhealthy benefits. This fun gadget will use hot air circulation to “fry” while keeping your recipe somewhat healthy. The air fryer crisps up the outer coating of panko breadcrumbs or a light batter, resulting in a satisfying crunch that gives way to the luscious, molten cheese within. The result is a healthier alternative to traditional fried foods, with no compromise on flavor or texture.
