Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread or Italian bread or 4 sandwich rolls
4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp parsley fresh or dried
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional toppings: red chili flakes oregano, or fresh basil

Method

Directions
Prepare the bread
Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise, then cut into smaller pieces to fit your air fryer basket.
Make garlic butter
In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Spread generously on each bread slice.
Add cheese
Top with mozzarella and cheddar (or Parmesan) until evenly covered.
Air fry
Place bread in the basket in a single layer. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
Serve
Remove, garnish with parsley or chili flakes, slice, and enjoy warm.

Notes

Batch cooking: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket—cook in batches if necessary.
Cheese variations: Try provolone, Gouda, or pepper jack for new flavors.
Extra crispy edges: Brush bread edges with olive oil before air frying.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes.
