Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano (if using). This will create a delicious garlic butter mixture that will soak into the bread and infuse it with flavor.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
After mixing the garlic butter, drizzle the butter mixture evenly between the slices of the bread, making sure the garlic gets into each cut. Then, stuff each slice with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Be sure to get the cheese deep into the cuts of the bread for that perfect melty texture!
Step 4: Air Fry the Bread
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the prepared loaf of bread in the air fryer basket, making sure it fits comfortably. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you like a crispier crust, you can add an extra couple of minutes.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once the pull-apart cheese garlic bread is done, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and an added touch of freshness. Let it cool for a minute, and then serve it hot.
Tips for the Perfect Air Fryer Pull-Apart Cheese Garlic Bread:
- Use Fresh Bread: A fresh loaf of Italian bread or a baguette works best for this recipe. It has the perfect texture for holding up to the cheese and garlic butter.
- Experiment with Cheese: While mozzarella is the classic choice, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like cheddar, gouda, or provolone for a unique twist.
- Customize the Flavors: Want to take it to the next level? Add some red pepper flakes for heat, or stir in a bit of Italian seasoning to boost the flavor.
- Don’t Overstuff: Make sure to stuff each slice with just the right amount of cheese to avoid a cheesy mess when the bread cooks. You want enough cheese to melt beautifully, but not too much that it overflows.
- Air Fryer Size: Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cut the loaf in half or bake it in batches if it doesn’t fit.
