Ingredients:

• 3 eggs, whisked

• 100g cottage cheese

• 145g plain flour

• 30g diced sun-dried tomatoes

• 60g diced chorizo or pepperoni

• 20g tomato paste (add more if desired)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan) or line your air fryer drawer with baking paper.

2. Combine whisked eggs with cottage cheese and tomato paste, mixing until smooth.

3. Add herbs such as oregano or basil, a pinch of chilli flakes, and season well with salt and pepper.

4. Stir in flour until incorporated.

5. Mix in diced sun-dried tomatoes and chorizo or pepperoni.

6. Add mozzarella, spinach, and soya crispies, mixing thoroughly.

7. Spoon the mixture onto a lined baking sheet or air fryer drawer in small blobs. Gently shape each bite and sprinkle with extra cheese or your favorite toppings if desired.

Cooking:
