Description

Quick and crispy cheese bread made in the air fryer with melty cheese and golden edges, perfect for a savory snack or appetizer.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick bread
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp softened butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of thick bread to ensure a rich, crispy base for the cheese.
  2. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle garlic powder over the buttered side of each bread slice to infuse a subtle garlicky flavor.
  3. Top with Cheese: Generously cover each slice with shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, ensuring even coverage for melty goodness.
  4. Air Fry: Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 370°F (185°C) and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the air fryer carefully and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh finish. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Watch the bread closely in the last few minutes to prevent over-browning or burning.
