🥒 Air Fryer Zucchini Egg Pie
🍽️ Serves: 2–4 | ⏱️ Total Time: ~25–30 minutes
🧾 Ingredients:
1 medium zucchini, grated
3 large eggs
¼ cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
2 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffier texture)
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or basil)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1–2 tbsp breadcrumbs (optional, for structure)
Oil spray or parchment liner for air fryer
🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Zucchini
Grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel or paper towels.
This keeps the pie from getting soggy.
2. Mix Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk/cream (if using), cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs.
Stir in grated zucchini and breadcrumbs (if using).
3. Prepare the Air Fryer Dish
Lightly spray a small air fryer-safe baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Pour the mixture in and spread evenly.
4. Air Fry
Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
Time may vary depending on thickness and air fryer model.
Test doneness with a toothpick — it should come out clean.
5. Cool and Serve
Let it rest a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
🌿 Variations & Add-ins:
Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or onions.
Swap zucchini for yellow squash or add both.
Add crumbled bacon or cooked sausage for a meatier version.
