Is there anything better than some cheesy garlic bread? Yes! Making it in the air fryer, so it's so fast!
I've been loving making garlic bread in the air fryer lately, but also topping it with cheese.
The result? This cheesy garlic bread that is the perfect combination of garlic, butter, and CHEESE. Yum. It's so easy to make, and FAST.
I typically use mozzarella and parmesan to make this, but you can swap out with other cheeses too! This winds up being such a delicious side dish or appetizer, especially paired with a pasta bake or bolognese.
Ingredients
- Bread - baguette or a soft French loaf
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Garlic
- Butter
- Shredded mozzarella
- Shredded parmesan
What type of bread to use
For this cheesy garlic bread, you can use either a long baguette or a softer, wider French loaf.
If using a French loaf (shorter, softer, and wider than a baguette), you'll just use half the loaf.
If using a baguette, you'll use the entire baguette to make the garlic bread.
How to customize
If you want extra seasonings on your cheesy garlic bread, you can add some red pepper flakes for spice, or some dried herbs.
You can also swap out the cheese! I love using mozzarella for the meltiness and parmesan for the sharpness, but you can use other cheeses to make the garlic bread too.
What to serve with the cheesy garlic bread
I love serving the cheesy garlic bread alongside an arugula salad, as a side for these CAVA copycat bowls, and creamy harissa pasta.
The garlic bread is also so delicious served as an appetizer or snack! Dip it in some marinara (or ranch dressing, if that's your thing) for a special treat.
Recipe notes
- Cook times may depend on your specific air fryer. Watch carefully and check frequently to make sure the garlic bread is cooked to how you prefer!
- You will likely need to slice the bread to fit into your air fryer.
How to make air fryer cheesy garlic bread
Slice up your bread to fit in the air fryer! And then cut in half so you have the inside parts to spread the garlic mixture onto.
In a small bowl, combine butter, minced garlic onion powder, and garlic powder. Mash together until combined.
Spread butter-garlic mixture onto bread, and then top with the mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese.
Air fry at 380 degrees F for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked to your liking!
Add some fresh or dried herbs on top if you like. (I added a little dried oregano here).
Either serve as is, or slice into strips for serving.
