Here’s a delicious recipe for Air Fryer Pull Apart Cheese Garlic Bread:
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread (French or Italian works well)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the bread in a crisscross pattern, making sure not to cut all the way through the loaf. The cuts should create a grid pattern of 1-inch squares.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
- Stuff the Bread:
- Gently pull apart the bread pieces and use a brush to spread the garlic butter mixture into all the crevices.
- Stuff the shredded mozzarella cheese into the cuts, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Air Fry the Bread:
- Place the stuffed loaf in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cut the loaf in half to fit.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the bread from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips
- Add-ins: You can add cooked bacon bits, caramelized onions, or even some jalapeño slices for extra flavor.
- Cheese Varieties: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like cheddar, gouda, or provolone.
