Instructions
- Using a ½ inch cookie scoop, scoop out individual portions from the 4 cups of chilled mac and cheese. Roll each one into a ball. Place these bites on a tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set these into the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Whisk the 2 eggs and 2 Tablespoons of milk together in a bowl. Set this aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup panko, ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
- Next create a dredging station. Place the panko crumb mixture next to the air fryer. Place the egg mixture next to the crumb mixture. Once the bites are frozen, place the tray of mac and cheese bites next to the egg mixture.
- Take each ball-like mound of macaroni, dip it in the egg mixture, then roll it in the panko mixture, then place it into the air fryer, no crowding. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to do these in batches. In that case the remaining mac and cheese bites could just sit on the parchment paper lined tray until you can cook them.
- Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
