Method
Soak the bread in milk6 until soft.

Shape the patties about 7–8 cm in diameter and 2–3 cm thick.
Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C.
Cook the patties in the air fryer at 190 °C for 14 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and juicy and the internal temperature reaches about 70 °C.
Rinse the buckwheat2, add about 1 part buckwheat to 2 parts water, bring to a boil, and simmer 15–20 minutes until tender; season to taste.
Serve: plate the buckwheat2, top with the patties, and place cucumber7 slices beside; garnish with herbs if desired.
Tips
- Why it works
- Soak bread in milk to bind the patty mix without making it dry. Over-soaking adds moisture and weakens structure.
- Substitutions
- Use oats (20g) instead of bread for a lighter texture. Swap cucumber for tomato (80g) if preferred.
- Common mistakes
- Patties tear if overworked. Stop mixing when ingredients just combine. Undercooked patties feel soft inside.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or refrigerate for 2 days; reheat in air fryer at 160°C for 5 minutes. Freezing ruins texture.
- Serve with
- Pair with a slice of rye bread and pickled vegetables for a hearty meal.
