How to make the air fryer blender savory pie:

- Add the liquids to a blender: milk, egg, and olive oil.
- Add the butter and grated Parmesan.
- Add the flour and salt. Blend well until everything is fully incorporated.
- Add the baking powder and pulse just enough to mix it in.
- Grease a cake pan that fits into your air fryer (with butter and a light dusting of flour).
- Pour half the batter into the pan, then spread the hearts of palm and cream cheese mixture over the top.
- Layer the turkey breast and mozzarella on top, then pour the remaining half of the batter over everything.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and garnish with olives.
- Bake in a preheated air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 25 to 30 minutes. If you want a golden top, increase the temperature to 350°F (180°C) for the last few minutes. Enjoy!
