📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare mac and cheese according to package directions. Allow it to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 2 hours, until completely chilled and firm.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
3
Remove the mac and cheese from the refrigerator and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
4
Using a small (1 1/2- tablespoon) sized scoop, portion out the mac and cheese. Roll the mac and cheese into balls, squeezing so they hold together. Place all the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze for ⏱️ 1 hour.

7
Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and dip each into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly.
8
Coat the air fryer rack with nonstick spray and place the coated balls in a single layer into the basket. The number of balls you can cook depends on the size of your air fryer basket. Leave at least 1 1/2- inches in between each to allow for air circulation, cooking in batches if necessary.
9
Air fry at 380°F for ⏱️ 10 -12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
