Line a tray with parchment paper and set out three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, one with the breadcrumbs.

Roll each frozen cheese stick in the flour first, tapping off the excess.

Dip the floured stick into the egg, letting the excess drip off.

Roll it through the breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they stick all over.

Repeat the egg and breadcrumb layers a second time on each stick for a thicker, crack-resistant coating.

Freeze the coated sticks on the tray for at least 30 minutes, until firm (this keeps the cheese from leaking out).

Heat the air fryer to 390°F and lightly spray the basket.

Arrange the sticks in a single layer with space between them and spray the tops lightly.

Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until the coating is deep golden and the cheese just starts to peek through at the ends.

Let rest for 2 minutes before serving (the cheese is lava-hot straight out).
