Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 6–8 minutes

Total Time: 10–13 minutes

Servings: 4–6

 Ingredients:

For the Bread:

1 French baguette (or ciabatta, sourdough, or any crusty bread)

3 tbsp butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp Italian seasoning

¼ tsp salt

For the Cheese Topping:

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or gouda for extra creaminess)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

 Instructions:

 Prepare the Bread

Slice the baguette or bread in half lengthwise. If using a large loaf, cut it into smaller sections to fit in your air fryer.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.

Assemble the Cheesy Bread

Brush the butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese generously over the top.

If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle on some red pepper flakes.

 Air Fry the Cheesy Bread

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.

Place the bread in the air fryer basket (cut-side up). Do not overlap pieces.

Air fry at 350°F for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden brown edges.

 Serve & Enjoy!

Remove the cheesy bread from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Slice into sticks or squares and serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli.

 Tips & Tricks:

Don’t Overcrowd:

Cook in batches if needed to ensure even crispiness.

Use Different Cheeses:

Try Monterey Jack, provolone, or smoked gouda for extra flavor.

Want it Extra Crispy?

Air fry for 1–2 more minutes or broil for a few seconds.

Make it Garlic Bread First:

Air fry the bread with the garlic butter for 2 minutes before adding cheese for a crispier base.

Storage & Reheating:

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes.
