Notes

1. Cream Cheese - Make sure your cream cheese is cold, easy to slice, then rolled into a ball. This will help to hold together in the air fryer. Careful not to mash it or work the cream cheese too much or it will get warm.

2. Dredging - For this recipe, you probably won't use all of the egg wash and pork rinds. That's okay!

3. Air Frying - You can air fry in batches if you don't have room in your air fryer.

4. Serving - These are best serve hot and fresh from the air fryer, but they are also great the day after cold!
