- Turn on the air fryer at heat 190 and cook for 20 minutes or until soft in the centre and crispy at the edges.
Homemade Pesto
- Add the crushed garlic and basil to the pestle and mortar. Bash until a paste forms. Next add the pine nuts and give another bash. Finely pour in the extra virgin olive oil, add the lemon juice, honey and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Cheesy pesto eggs
