Ingredients
Scale
- 1 French baguette or Italian loaf
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or a small spatula to mash the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cut the bread into smaller sections (about 4-6 inches long) to ensure they fit comfortably without overlapping.
- Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut side of each piece of bread. Ensure you cover the bread all the way to the edges so every bite is flavorful.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and the grated Parmesan evenly over the buttered bread. Press down slightly on the cheese so it stays in place when you transfer the bread to the air fryer.
- Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Check at the 4-minute mark; the bread is done when the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown.
- Carefully remove the bread from the air fryer using tongs. Let it sit for one minute to allow the cheese to set slightly, then slice into smaller pieces and serve immediately.
