I'm no stranger to breading and frying cheese. A few years ago I experimented with some fried goat cheese and Buffalo Mozzarella Sticks.
What other cheeses should we bread and crisp up?

What is Boursin
Boursin is actually the brand name. The type of cheese is actually called gournay cheese. It is simply a soft cheese combined with cream.
There are many flavors to choose from but I almost always choose the garlic and herb variety.
How to serve crispy Boursin
This crispy coated Boursin makes a great holiday appetizer. Serve with crackers as a stand alone appetizer or place on a cheese/charcuterie board.
The recipe that inspired this one drizzled hot honey on the top. I don't actually think it is necessary but if you want the honey, go for it.
Pair with your favorite wine for your next girls night in!

How to make air fryer boursin
This recipe starts the same way any of my crispy breaded recipe starts, with a breading station.
One bowl for flour, one for the egg and one for the panko combined with seasonings.
Some of my favorite crispy breaded recipes are: Crispy Chicken Cutlets, Eggplant Caprese, and Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
Coat the Boursin with flour, then with the egg and finally coat with the panko. Be sure to really press that panko on.
Place the panko coated Boursin in a pre-heated air fryer basket and air fry for five minutes.
When it is done cooking, it should be crispy but still in tact.
Transfer from air fryer to plate or platter and serve while still warm.
