How to Make Bread Ravioli with Tuna, Avocado, and Cheese in an Air Fryer
In a bowl, mix tuna, red onion, avocado, spreadable cheese, and basil. Adjust with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin to a thickness of 0.1 inches.
Use a pastry cutter or a glass to cut out regular discs.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of one disc, cover with a second disc, and seal the edges well with the tines of a fork.
Alternatively, use a ravioli or calzone mold.
Place the ravioli in the fryer basket in a single layer, brush or spray with a little oil.
Cook in the air fryer at 356°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.Serve hot, accompanied by an arugula salad or fresh cherry tomatoes for a contrast of flavors and textures.
Storage
Bread ravioli are best freshly prepared, but they can be stored:
In the refrigerator: for 1 day, in an airtight container.
In the freezer: uncooked, for up to 1 month. Just cook them still frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the cooking times.
Tips and Variations
Creamier: add a teaspoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the filling.
Spicy: try flavoring with sweet paprika, chives, or lemon pepper.
Vegetarian: substitute tuna with mashed chickpeas or marinated tofu.
Without an air fryer: bake in a fan oven at 392°F for about 10-12 minutes, until golden.
