- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp butter softened
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1/8 tsp dried thyme
- 1/8 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp salt
Shred your mozzarella cheese. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
Mix the softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and dried herbs in a small bowl.
Take 4 slices of regular bread and spread with about 1 tbsp of the garlic butter each, then top with about 1/4 cup shredded cheese each.
Place bread in the air fryer (depending on the size of your bread and air fryer, you may need to work in batches).
Cook at 375 for 6-9 minutes*, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
If working in batches, you can put the finished bread in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and put it in a low oven (200 degrees) to keep it warm.
Serve and enjoy!
- *The time the garlic bread needs really depends on the air fryer. When I did these in a 2 qt air fryer 1 piece at a time, they got done in only 6 minutes. However, when they were spread out in a larger air fryer, they didn’t brown as evenly and needed more like 8-9 minutes. Just use the color of the cheese as a gauge of doneness!
- You can sub french bread or even dinner rolls cut in half, with the same ratio of other ingredients!
- Make sure to preheat your air fryer as its particular directions state. And don’t overcrowd your air fryer—cook as many pieces of toast as will fit comfortably!
- Spice up this bread: add red pepper flakes, bacon, tomatoes, or serve with a tipping sauce like marinara or ranch!
