Oh heck yes—this is a dangerously good air-fryer snack 🧀🔥 Crispy on the outside, gooey in the middle, zero oven drama.
Air Fryer Pull-Apart Garlic Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 1 small round loaf or bread boule (sourdough or white)
- 3–4 tbsp softened butter
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced (or garlic paste)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional but tasty)
- 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella (or mozz + cheddar blend)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- Salt, to taste
- Chopped parsley (optional, for ✨vibes✨)
Prep
- Cut the bread
Slice a crosshatch pattern into the loaf (don’t cut all the way through). - Make garlic butter
Mix butter, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and parsley. - Stuff it
Pry open the cuts and spread garlic butter inside.
Stuff generously with mozzarella and sprinkle parmesan all over.
Air Fry
- Wrap the loaf loosely in foil (this helps melt the cheese first).
- Air fry at 350°F / 175°C for 8–10 minutes.
- Unwrap and air fry another 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Serve
- Finish with extra parsley or a pinch of chili flakes 🌶️
- Pull apart while hot and stretchy (mandatory)
Pro Tips
- Add pepperoni bits or cooked bacon for chaos-good energy.
- Use string cheese sticks if that’s what you’ve got—no shame.
- If your air fryer runs hot, check at 6 minutes.
