How to make a cheese nugget with an air fryer

Do you like cheese Do you like nuggets? Do you like throwing things at your air fryer and seeing what happens? Now, let me introduce you to the cheese nugget, also known as “Air Fried Harumi”.

I’m no stranger to cooking cheese, especially halloumi (and to a lesser extent bread cheese).The same is true for Halloumi On the grill As it is With a waffle makerHowever, something special happens with air fryer, giving it a delicate, crispy skin that cannot be obtained otherwise.

The grill gives a nice char and the waffle maker creates crispy peaks and valleys, but the bubbling hot air of the air fryer dries the outside of the cheese, creating a thin, almost cracked outside, warm and soft inside. It’s cheap. Unlike mozzarella sticks and halumi fries, there is no crumbs, so you can focus on the cheese and not have to bread anything (in my opinion, this is always a kind of drug).

But bread cheese doesn’t work as well as Halloumi. It’s okay with pots and grills, but it melts in an air fryer and creates a sticky mess. This is fine. If you’re looking for a raclette-like situation, but it doesn’t hold that shape enough to dip.

You can use marinated or unmarinated Halloumi, but the former is a bit more exciting. You can finish it with lemon. Or, if you really want to embark on nugget framing, you can use a dip sauce such as lemon aioli, sweet chili sauce, or high-quality chili oil. (I don’t even care about the classic McDonald’s style Sweet and sour.. )
