Eggplant cordon bleu in air fryer, an easy and very tasty main course to prepare. You can make them quickly and bring a light dish to the table because it is not fried and will have a crunchy and dry breading thanks to the airfryer cooking method. When preparing fried eggplant cutlets, the eggplants absorb a lot of oil during cooking as they are very spongy, but thanks to the air fryer cooking, you will have a much lighter and tastier dish. Thanks to the filling, you won’t have the usual eggplant cutlets to serve as a side dish, but with ham and cheese, you’ll have a rich and complete dish. I recommend using a stringy cheese like pizza mozzarella, or scamorza or provola, which unlike mozzarella do not release liquid, so the eggplants will be dry. The cooking time for eggplant cordon bleu in the air fryer may vary depending on the type of airfryer you use; this is the air fryer I use.

Let’s start preparing the eggplant cordon bleu in the air fryer, wash the eggplant, trim it, and cut it into slices about half a centimeter thick.
Take a slice of eggplant, place a slice of cooked ham in the center
