Becky Excell, who shares “quick and easy recipes on a budget” and loves cooking in her Air Fryer, uploaded a video for her 196,000 plus TikTok followers.
In it, Becky, whose profile is @beckyexcell, asked them: “Now, tell me, is there anything better in life than gooey, melted cheese?”
The keen cook continued: “I don’t think so, but let me know what you think.”
Becky then said how she’d come up with the idea of using supermarket staple Babybel as her main ingredient – and why it works a treat.
She went on to say: “I used to have a Babybel in my lunchbox at school every single day when I was younger.
“The cheese was great and the red wax I used to roll up into a ball and play with. Is that weird?”
She added: “They are the ultimate easy party food, who fancies one… or two?!”
Becky then shared her step-by-step instructions to making the deep fried treats, which she described as “perfection”.
The ingredients required are some Babybel (or any smaller pieces of cheese), cornflour, one beaten egg, cornflakes, and optional seasoning, smoked paprika and salt.
Becky revealed that the first step is to “crush the cornflakes and mix in a little seasoning.”
She continued: “I mixed in 2 tsp of smoked paprika with 150g of cornflakes.
“Dunk Babybel in the cornflour, then the beaten egg, then the crushed cornflakes.
“Air Fry for five minutes on 200C – optionally spray with a little oil before cooking to help crisp up more.”
Once piping hot and crispy, Becky said: “Serve straight away while still hot, or reheat later.
“Always serve warm/ hot for the gooey centre.”
Becky’s followers couldn’t get enough of the idea, as they said they would make the perfect addition to a Christmas party buffet.
One wrote: “Looks yummy. Will be adding to the Xmas nibbles.”
While a second commented: “You need to try these!”
