Air Fryer Zucchini Egg Bake

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