Ingredients
Bread and Butter
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
Cheese and Seasoning
- ½ cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Spread the softened butter evenly over both slices of bread to ensure a rich buttery base that crisps up nicely in the air fryer.
- Add Garlic and Cheese: Sprinkle the minced garlic and a pinch of salt evenly over the buttered bread slices, then top generously with shredded cheese to create a gooey melt.
- Air Fry the Bread: Place the prepared bread slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the bread edges are crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the cheese bread carefully from the air fryer. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm to enjoy a perfect balance of crispness and melted cheese.
Notes
- Use mozzarella or cheddar cheese for the best melting results and flavor.
- Watch the bread closely during air frying to prevent burning, as cheese can crisp quickly.
- You can customize with additional toppings like red pepper flakes or herbs if desired.
- Ensure your air fryer basket is not overcrowded for even cooking.
