This Tefal air fryer features 8 pre-set programs like air fry, grill, bake and dehydrate, ready to meet all home cooking needs.

Recipe 1: Air Fried Mummified Brie

Ingredients

  • ½ sheet frozen puff pastry, partially thawed
  • 250g wheel of brie, cold from the fridge
  • 2 blueberries, for eyes

Method

Step 1: Slice pastry into 1cm thick strips. Wrap strips around the brie, overlapping, to represent a mummy’s bandage.

Step 2: Place brie in the basket of the Sunbeam 3-in-1 DiamondForce Digital Air Fryer. Set temperature to 200°C and time to 10 minutes, cooking until pastry is golden.

Step 3: Meanwhile, arrange pitted dates, dried apricots, grapes, carrot sticks, blueberries, crackers and mandarins on a serving platter or board. Add a sprig of parsley to the centre of each mandarin as a stem.

Step 4: Place hot brie on the platter, decorate with two blueberries as eyes, and serve immediately.

TIP: We used a spider-shaped bowl on top of our platter for an added touch of ‘spooky’, and to contain the gooey melted brie, once you cut it open.
