Air Fryer Pull Apart Cheese Garlic Bread

Cut the loaf of bread into slices, but not all the way through. You want to slice it about 3/4 of the way down, leaving the bottom intact so the loaf holds together. You can make slices about 1-inch thick, but you can adjust to your preference.

2. Make the garlic butter:

In a small bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, parsley, oregano (if using), and salt. Mix well.

3. Assemble the bread:

Place the sliced bread on a sheet of parchment paper or directly in the air fryer basket. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top and between the slices of the bread, making sure each slice gets coated.

4. Add the cheese:

Stuff the shredded mozzarella cheese (and Parmesan, if using) in between the slices of the bread. You can also sprinkle extra cheese on top of the bread.

5. Air fry the bread:

Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Place the bread in the air fryer basket (you may need to cut it into smaller pieces depending on the size of your air fryer). Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the bread is crispy and golden brown.

6. Serve:

Once the bread is done, remove it from the air fryer, sprinkle with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and garnish with extra parsley for a burst of color. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

• Extra cheese: If you love cheese, feel free to add extra mozzarella or use a blend of cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or even cream cheese for a different twist.
• Make it spicy: Add some chili flakes or a bit of hot sauce to the butter mixture for a spicy kick.
• Serving suggestion: This pull-apart cheese garlic bread is perfect as a side for pasta, soup, or salad, or even as a snack on its own.

This Air Fryer Pull-Apart Cheese Garlic Bread is an incredibly quick and satisfying dish, with the air fryer giving it that perfect balance of crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Enjoy!
