- Egg wash: 1 egg + 1 tbsp water, beaten
- Breadcrumbs: 1 cup (panko for extra crunch)

Instructions

- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 mins until golden and crispy. Spray with oil halfway for extra browning.
4️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with ketchup, mayo, and parsley. Best eaten hot for the cheese pull!
