Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 oz grated parmesan cheese
  • 5 oz queso fresco
  • 6 oz mozzarella cheese
  • 1 package of pan de bono mix (12 oz)
  • 10 oz milk
  • 1 tbsp of room temperature salted butter
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. First we are going to blend our cheese. I don’t use a shredder I use a food processor. I want to the cheese to be very fine and it’s much faster. Take 4 oz of queso fresco, cut them into smaller chunks and toss them in the food processor. Pulse until finely grated. Add to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Repeat process with mozzarella cheese. Lastly add the pre-grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Add the entire contents of one box of pan de bono mix.
  4. Add 10 oz of milk, 1 tbsp of room temperature butter, and 1 egg.
  5. Incorporate all the ingredients and knead together the dough with your hands. It will be a soft, moist dough, not very hard.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
  7. Form the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.
  8. After your air fryer is done preheating, add a piece of parchment paper with holes poked through it to the air fryer basket. (this will prevent the pan de bono from sticking when you flip them).
  9. Set your air fryer to 375°F and cook for 12 minutes. Flip the pan de bono over once at the halfway point (6 minutes).
