Macaroni and Cheese Balls
Potatoes, Pastas and Grains
Ingredients
- 4 cups leftover Macaroni and Cheese, chilled
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup panko
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 slices cooked bacon chopped finely (optional)
- Fustini's Garlic olive oil to drizzle or spray
Directions
- Using your leftover refrigerated macaroni and cheese, take large chunks, about 2 tablespoons, and roll into balls. Set aside. In a bowl, add egg and milk and whisk to combine. Then in another bowl, add panko breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and chopped bacon if using, and stir to combine. Grab a macaroni and cheese ball and place in egg and milk mixture, coating the entire ball, then add to the panko mixture, then add to a lined parchment paper cookie sheet. Place in the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees. After 30 minutes, remove the macaroni and cheese balls from the freezer and place them into an air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don&rsquo,t touch. Spray with olive oil. Air fry for 8-10 minutes until light and golden on the outside. Remove, serve, and enjoy.
