Step 5: Take a spoon full of the batter and shape it around 1 piece of mozzarella cheese to form the bites.

Useful tips
You can change out the mozzarella sticks for any kind of soft cheese you prefer.
If you don’t have an air fryer, use the over with a fan function at around 180°C for 12–15 minutes, turning them around after half the time.
