Sure, here’s a recipe for Air Fryer Cheese Pull Apart Bread:
Ingredients:
– 1 loaf of bread (such as French bread or Italian bread)
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
– 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the bread. Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts in one direction across the bread, about 1 inch apart, being careful not to cut all the way through. Repeat in the opposite direction to create a crosshatch pattern.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic (if using), chopped parsley (if using), salt, and pepper.
4. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the melted butter mixture into the cuts of the bread, making sure to get in between each slice.
5. Stuff the shredded cheese into the cuts of the bread, again making sure to get it into each slice.
6. Place the prepared bread in the air fryer basket or tray. If the bread is too long for your air fryer, you may need to cut it in half and cook it in batches.
7. Air fry the bread at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden and crispy.
8. Carefully remove the cheese pull apart bread from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate.
9. Serve the cheese pull apart bread warm, allowing everyone to pull off a piece and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
10. Optionally, you can sprinkle some extra chopped parsley on top for garnish before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Cheese Pull Apart Bread!
