Can these be baked instead of fried ??
jenniferbanz says
I tested that and the cheese melted before the breading was crispy.
Pat Obourn says
Description says this recipe contains parmesan cheese, but I'm not seeing it in the recipe. Did I miss something?
jenniferbanz says
That was an error. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
Denise Anderson says
Can you make these ahead and leave them in the freezer until you're ready to cook them?

That should work!

Yes, they can be frozen for more than 2 hours

Can you air dry them instead?

Air fry? I tried and it didn't work. The cheese oozed out before they got crispy
