Instructions
Step 1
Remove the prepared Velveeta® & Shells from the refrigerator and fold in the cubed Velveeta® cheese and prepared queso dip or mayonnaise until evenly combined.
Step 2
Using a 1 1/2-tablespoon scoop, portion out the Velveeta® & Shells. Wet hands with water and roll each Velveeta® & Shells portion into smooth balls. Place onto a parchment lined tray and freeze for 1 hour.
Step 3
Meanwhile combine panko and seasoned breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or pie dish.
Step 4
Whisk eggs until thoroughly combined in a shallow bowl or a pie dish.
Step 5
Remove the Velveeta® & Shells balls from the freezer and dip each into the egg mixture and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Step 6
Preheat air-fryer to 380F.
Step 7
Spray the air-fryer rack with cooking spray and place the coated Velveeta® & Shells balls in a single layer into the air-fryer basket. Leave space between each ball to ensure proper airflow, cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deep golden brown. Repeat if necessary.
Step 8
Serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice. You can never go wrong with marinara or buffalo sauce!
