Instructions

• Preheat: If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C). If using an air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Prepare pan/basket: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for the oven. For the air fryer, trim a piece of parchment to fit the basket and make sure it does not extend above the basket sides (do not block airflow).
• Make the mixture: In a medium bowl add 1 avocado (pit removed and flesh scooped out), 1 egg, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or cheese of choice). Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth, then stir in the egg and cheese until evenly combined into a thick, sticky mixture.
• Portion and shape: For oven baking, divide the mixture into 2–3 equal portions. For the air fryer, divide into 4 equal portions. Place each portion on the prepared parchment and use the back of a spoon to flatten into a patty shape of even thickness.
• Cook: Oven — bake at 400°F for about 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Air fryer — cook at 400°F for about 8–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Times may vary by appliance; check doneness by gently pressing the center or inserting a toothpick to ensure it comes out cleanish.
• Rest and serve: Remove from the oven or air fryer and let the patties cool on the parchment for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a plate. Serve warm.
