Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   If your air‑fryer basket has a mesh or holes, take an enamel or baking dish that fits inside it. Grease the dish with oil. If the basket is flat, oil the bottom and sides.

2. 2

   Transfer all ingredients to a large bowl and knead thoroughly by hand. Season with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Spread the mixture into the dish or directly into the air fryer, smoothing the surface evenly.

3. 3

   Bake at 180 °C for 25–35 minutes (depending on thickness) until a metal skewer inserted into the center is hot, or until a thermometer reads 70 °C and the top turns golden. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the last 15 minutes.
