Air Fryer Cheesy Garlic Bread
Description
Air Fryer Cheesy Garlic Bread begins by mixing softened salted butter with garlic powder, salt, pepper, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to create a flavorful spread. A French baguette is cut lengthwise and opened, then coated evenly with the cheese-butter mixture. Cooking the bread in a preheated air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes crisps the edges and melts the cheese topping into a bubbly, golden layer.
The result is bread with a crispy crust and a rich, garlicky cheesy topping that is both creamy and slightly browned. The mixture of two cheeses balances creaminess with sharpness, enhanced by the buttery garlic base. Fresh parsley is added after cooking for color and a hint of herbaceous brightness.
This garlic bread is best served immediately while warm and melty. It works well as a snack, side dish alongside pasta or soups, or a party appetizer. Using an air fryer reduces cooking time and produces a crisp texture without soaking the bread.
