Notes
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; this ensures even cooking. Adjust cook time depending on the thickness of your cheese. If making in batches, keep the first batch warm in the oven at low heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container, but enjoy them fresh for the best taste. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispness.
