A staple of everyday Austrian home cooking, Faschierte Laibchen are made with ground meat bound with soaked bread and seasoned with sweet paprika and cumin. Air-frying instead of pan-frying makes them lighter.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the Bread

5 min

Soak the stale bread in the milk for 5 minutes to soften, then squeeze firmly by hand to remove the excess milk.

2

Mix the Patty Mixture

10 min

Combine the ground beef with the grated onion, soaked bread, egg, parsley, sweet paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Knead firmly by hand until sticky, then wet your hands and shape into flat patties.

3

Chill

15 min

Arrange the shaped patties on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This helps them hold together while cooking in the air fryer.

4

Cook in the Air Fryer

15 min

Lightly oil the air fryer basket and preheat it to 180°C / 355°F. Arrange the patties in a single layer and cook for 8 minutes. Flip and cook for 7 more minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, bake on a wire rack in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 20 minutes.

Reminder

If you do not knead the mixture until sticky, the patties may fall apart in the air fryer. Do not skip the resting step. Allergen: Contains wheat (gluten), dairy, and eggs.
