The savory zucchini pie in the air fryer is a delicious, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish. Perfect for a picnic, you can enjoy it either warm or cold. It will be just as good the next day. You can serve it as a main or an appetizer: everyone will appreciate it.
In summer, it’s very hot, but thanks to the air fryer, which doesn’t heat the environment as much as the oven, you can enjoy this savory pie that combines zucchini, speck, and cheese with a shortcrust pastry base. The result is a golden pie, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a delicate flavor and an inviting crust.
Cooking in the air fryer is a practical way to enjoy a savory pie without necessarily having to turn on the oven! Also, check out all my AIR FRYER RECIPES.

Steps for Savory Zucchini Pie in Air Fryer
Slice the zucchini thinly (I used the mandoline) and cook them in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of chopped parsley for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, season with salt.
Transfer the zucchini to a plate and, once cooled, add a beaten egg and the speck.
Mix well to combine everything.
Unroll the shortcrust pastry, place it in a baking tin with parchment paper, and pour in the filling.
Add the cheese cubes, then fold the edges inward.
Trim the excess parchment paper and place the pie in the air fryer. Cook for 25-30 minutes at 320°F, then check the cooking. Once it’s golden, remove it from the fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Cooking times may slightly vary depending on the model of air fryer you own. Always check the cooking.
FAQ

I can’t find latteria cheese, what can I use?
You can use cheese like toma, caciotta, edamer, or scamorza.
