Bread meatless patties are actually similar to those that my mom used to make for us every Sunday as a second course when I was a child. It was not always possible to cook meat ragù, and these egg-based meatless patties were more accessible. I still love them very much, and today, for the first time, I made them in the air fryer. They are lighter and very similar to classic ones fried in a pan with extra virgin olive oil. The mixture doesn’t change and is made the same way.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Inexpensive
- Preparation time: 15 Minutes
- Portions: 3
- Cooking methods: Air Frying
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 7 oz bread (stale)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsps Grana Padano cheese grated
- 1 clove garlic
- to taste fine salt
- to taste parsley (fresh)
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Bowl
- Air Fryer
Steps
Cut a slice of stale bread of about seven ounces. Crumble the crumb while the crust can also be soaked in water for easy crumbling.
Beat the eggs in the bowl and add the bread.
Chop the garlic clove finely into the bowl. Add the chopped parsley, salt, and grated Grana cheese.
Mix everything until you get a compact, not liquid dough. If needed, you can add a bit more breadcrumb.
Place a sheet of baking paper on the grid of the air fryer and drop spoonfuls of the mixture spaced apart, then drizzle with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on top.
Cook for ten minutes at 356°F for ten minutes. Open the fryer, turn the patties to the other side, and cook for another five minutes.
The bread patties without eggs in the air fryer will be nicely golden, soft, and tasty.
Tips:
Double the quantities for more people but do not cook more than six patties at a time.
