Let’s get cooking

Method

Drain the mozzarella balls, pat them thoroughly dry with kitchen paper and refrigerate uncovered on a clean plate for 20 minutes.
Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and garlic powder. Beat the eggs and put the flour on another plate. Coat each ball in flour, egg, crumbs, egg again and crumbs again, covering every gap. Chill in the freezer for 20 minutes without freezing solid.
Preheat the empty air fryer for 5 minutes at 180°C. Brush the balls with the olive oil and cook two batches of ten, spaced apart, for about 5–6 minutes at 180°C. Turn carefully after 3 minutes and remove as soon as the coating is golden, before the cheese escapes.
Rest for 2 minutes and serve five bites per person with 10 g of tomato jam per portion.
