Ingredients

  • 1 baguette cut into 5-6-inch slices -- It will yield about 8 slices (You can use French bread if you prefer)
For the Garlic bread spread:
  • 4 tablespoon salted butter at room temperature or softened
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or simply olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese or shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 4 garlic cloves minced (After mincing, add a pinch of salt on top and mash to turn it into a paste)
  • 2 tablespoon chopped parsley plus more for garnishing, or another Italian herb such as basil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella plus more for topping, or another melting cheese of choice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. AIR FRYER METHOD: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (180º C).
  2. Slice the bread crosswise into 4 equal parts and then cut each in half lengthwise. Reserve!
  3. In a medium bowl, add the butter and smash with a fork. Then add and mix together all the other ingredients for the garlic bread spread until becoming spreadable.
  4. Using a spoon, spread 1-2 tablespoon of the garlic spread on top of each slice of bread and then top with extra mozzarella cheese, about 2-4 tablespoon for each slice.
  5. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, carefully place 2 slices of bread into the basket in one single layer (without any overlapping). Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until becoming golden brown on top and crispy on the bottom.
  6. Remove the bread from the basket using tongs and sprinkle extra chopped parsley on top. Serve while they are still hot.
  7. OVEN METHOD: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Follow all the steps above and bake the garlic bread in the oven, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, for about 10-15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
