Notes
- You can use regular breadcrumbs or even crushed cornflakes rather than gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Season the egg or the breadcrumbs (or both!) for extra flavor.
- Serve with a lovely green salad or a dish of pasta to make it a more substantial meal.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cooking time, checking food for doneness, and then adding more time as needed.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
- There are 4 WW Blueplan SmartPoints in a serving.
