Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the cheeses are evenly distributed.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help the mixture firm up.
• Once chilled, take about a tablespoon of the mac and cheese mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
• In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
• Roll each mac and cheese ball in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure each ball is well-coated.
• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
• Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the mac and cheese balls in a single layer, leaving space between each one. Spray the tops lightly with oil.
• Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and crispy.
• Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
• Once cooked, remove the balls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
