The phyllo dough cake in the air fryer is a savory cake made with phyllo dough sheets, pears, and cheese that cooks in minutes in the air fryer. Perfect to serve as a Christmas recipe, like these shrimp in crust in the air fryer, or like these phyllo dough bundles in the air fryer. If you love savory cakes without puff pastry with fruit and cheese, try this one, and you’ll be surprised. The recipe is very simple. First, you need to choose the pan to cook the savory cake in the air fryer; you can use a rectangular, square, or round pan, either non-stick or an aluminum pan. Then, just fold some phyllo dough sheets into the pan, insert slices of pears and slices of Taleggio or Brie between the folds, maybe enrich with walnut crumbs and, if desired, a touch of honey, and then cook the savory phyllo dough cake in the air fryer.
At the end of the recipe, you will also find the version of the phyllo dough and apple cake in the air fryer. I hope you find it useful, and I’m looking forward to hearing what you think.
