      How Can I Prepare Cheese Curds for Frying?

      You cannot fry cheese curds directly. Before frying, coat the cheese curds well. Coating cheese curds requires three steps. Here is how you do it:

      • Step I: First of all, coat cheese curds with flour.
      • Step II: After flour coating, coat cheese curds with egg.
      • Step III: Coat cheese curds with breadcrumbs now.

      The Air fryer cheese curds, coated with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, are a delectable snack to munch on!

      Is it Necessary to Coat Cheese Curds with Egg?

      Cheese Curds melt when you air fry them. Hence, they need a firm coating around them. If you do not coat them with eggs, you will not be able to cover them with breadcrumbs. Hence, a light coating of the egg is necessary. Otherwise, cheese curds will explode, and your air fryer will become messy.

      Can Overweight People Devour Cheese Curds?

      Cheese Curds are beneficial for overweight people. Overweight people can devour them in raw form. If you eat cheese curds in raw form, the linoleic acid present in cheese curd will show its magic. This acid is known to have weight loss capacity. It can burn fat. Hence, cheese curds promote weight loss when you eat them raw.
