Zucchini, eggs and Parmesan bake into a tender, savoury dish with golden edges and a fresh parsley finish. It uses only a handful of familiar ingredients, cooks quickly in the air fryer, and makes a satisfying breakfast or light meatless lunch.

What you'll need.

  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 60 g Parmesan, grated
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or a little oil

How to make it.

  1. Lightly oil a shallow air-fryer-safe dish and arrange the sliced zucchini inside.
  2. Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.
  3. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, the remaining Parmesan and half of the parsley.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the softened zucchini.
  5. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, until set and golden, then finish with the remaining parsley.

My tips.

Slice the zucchini thinly and evenly so it softens before the eggs are added. For a richer variation, add crumbled feta or a few halved cherry tomatoes.

Good to know.

Can I make the egg bake ahead?
Yes. Refrigerate it for up to two days and reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave.

Can I use another cheese?
Cheddar, Gouda, or feta can replace the Parmesan, although the flavour and texture will change.

What should I serve with it?
Whole-grain toast and a simple tomato salad make an easy, balanced meal.
