Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread (French bread, Italian bread, or sandwich bread)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Bread: Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, ensuring full coverage for flavor and crispiness.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the bread slices butter-side up in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly and the buttered side crisps nicely.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese evenly over each bread slice. Optionally, add garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Air Fry: Cook the bread in the air fryer for 4–6 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesy bread from the air fryer and serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Watch closely during air frying to prevent the cheese from over-browning or burning.
- Try mixing different types of cheeses for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for added taste.
