Can I make this without the Air Fryer Lid?
Yes of course! Just follow the simple steps.
- Coat the mozzarella sticks with spices, eggs and bread crumbs.
- Add oil to the Instant Pot and press "saute"
- Saute for a few minutes on each side until golden just before the cheese starts to leak.
- Remove excess oil and serve.
Can I use any other type of Cheese?
Of course, you can play around with different kinds of cheese.
As for me, I have chosen Mozzarella because it is easy to cook with it and we all love it. For example you can use buffalo mozzarella which is a bit saltier.

Just like french fries, eating fresh sticks is better and tastier.
Refrigerate what's left off in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
