Air fryer garlic cheese bread is a quick and delicious snack or side dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Air Fryer Garlic Cheese Bread
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5-8 minutes
Servings: 2-4
Ingredients:
- 1 French baguette or Italian bread loaf (sliced in half lengthwise)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 3-4 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions:
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Bread:
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese (and cheddar, if using) over the buttered bread.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the bread in the air fryer basket, cheese side up. You may need to cut the bread into smaller pieces to fit.
- Air fry for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Remove the bread from the air fryer and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Slice into smaller pieces if desired, and serve warm.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or oregano before air frying.
- If you like a crispy crust, toast the bread lightly in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes before adding the butter and cheese.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Enjoy your gooey, cheesy, garlicky bread! 🧄🧀🍞
