Ingredients

2 slices eggplant (sliced lengthwise)
1 tablespoon red onion (chopped)
½ tomato (sliced)
8 pieces small mozzarella balls
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

First, slice your eggplant lengthwise into two halves. This makes it easier to layer on the other ingredients later. Pop these slices into your preheated air fryer at 400°F (200°C).
Note: The exact cooking time varies based on your taste, but generally, about 7 minutes does the trick.
Once the timer hits the 7-minute mark, pull out the basket.
On your partially cooked eggplant, lay out slices of red onion, tomato, and halved mozzarella balls. For a bit of extra flavor, consider drizzling some olive oil and sprinkling a touch of dried basil or your preferred spices.
Now, slide the eggplant back into the air fryer for another 5 minutes.
And there you have it! In just a short time, you've whipped up a tasty and nutritious breakfast. Enjoy!
