Presentation

Cordon bleu in air fryer

The cooking in an air fryer makes cordon bleu, already tasty in itself, even more interesting, giving it a crispy yet light texture, thus making it healthier.  Serve the cordon bleu on a nice serving platter and cut diagonally to expose the heart of melted cheese, making it truly irresistible! The first bite reveals a texture crispy thanks to the golden breadcrumbs, while inside the meat is tender and succulent, and the cheese melts in a creamy way.Thanks to the air fryer, we can enjoy this dish without the excess oil that usually weighs down traditional frying.
