The savory cakes with broccoli and feta are a perfect idea for a healthy meal, flavorful, and quick to prepare.
In this version, the heart of each cake is enriched with crumbled feta, which adds creaminess and a unique taste.
Cooking in an air fryer makes them light and crispy on the outside while keeping the inside soft and delicious.
These cakes are ideal as an appetizer, snack, or even as a vegetarian main dish. They are a great alternative to the savory cakes with cauliflower and cheese in an air fryer.
Easy to prepare with simple and wholesome ingredients, they are perfect for those seeking a tasty dish without giving up on lightness.

Ingredients
- 10 oz broccoli florets
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 3.5 oz feta cheese
- A few sprays extra virgin olive oil
- to taste breadcrumbs
Tools
- Air Fryers
- Molds
- Potato Mashers
Steps
Cut the broccoli into florets, wash them under running water and boil them in salted water for about 7-8 minutes until tender. Drain and let them cool.
In a bowl, mash the broccoli coarsely with a fork or a potato masher.
Add the egg, the grated Parmesan, the flour, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Mix everything until homogeneous. If the mixture is too soft, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
Lightly grease 4 individual molds with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with breadcrumbs to prevent the cakes from sticking. For convenience, I use a non-stick spray.
Distribute half of the mixture into the molds, leveling the surface.
Add a bit of crumbled feta to the center of each cake to create a flavorful heart.
Cover with the remaining mixture, leveling the surface again. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and spray a little extra virgin olive oil.
Cook the cakes in an air fryer at 340°F for 12-15 minutes until they are golden and firm.
Our savory cakes with cauliflower and cheese are ready.
Let them cool for a few minutes before unmolding and serving.
Enjoy your meal!
