Ingredients
Reduced Fat Baybel
Oatflour
Fat free milk
Italian bread crumbs (added: garlic powder, black pepper, and oregano)
Recipe
I don't like the taste of reduced fat Baybel, but I didn't want to throw it out, so I made them into this. And WOW!!! I don't regret it!!! I will absolutely buy more now just so I can keep on making these!
To season the Italian bread crumbs to make it tastier, I used garlic powder, black pepper, and oregano.
I coated the baybel balls with oat flour after unwrapping it. You ONLY need to do this once.
I didn't have eggs, so I used milk, and it worked out just fine.
I dipped the coated baybell in the milk and then dipped it in bread crumbs. I did this step twice.
I placed all the balls in a bowl, leaving a gap!!!! I then froze it for 2 hours uncovered. Covering it up is optional if your freezer smells.
I used an air fryer, 375F for 7 minutes. Every air fryer is different, so keep an eye out on your balls. I didn't use oil, but you can mist it lightly with oil to make the outside crispier.
End Result
TASTY AND CRISPY YUMMMYYYYY
It's lower calorie than most mozzarella sticks/balls with more protein too! This has very little fat, obviously. So the cheese pull isn't like a standard mozzarella stick/ball. It remains kinda chewy in certain moments, so be aware of that. But I'm not complaining too much as this definitely beats store bought ones!
