Ingredients
- Baguette, halved lengthwise1
- Butter, softened4 tbsp
- Garlic, minced4 cloves
- Grated mozzarella1 cup
- Fresh parsley, chopped2 tbsp
Method
Make garlic butter
Mash the softened butter with the minced garlic and half the parsley until creamy and fragrant. A pinch of salt rounds out the flavour and helps the garlic butter spread smoothly across the bread.
Slather the bread
Spread the garlic butter generously over the cut faces of the baguette, working it right into the crumb and out to the edges so no dry patches are left and every bite carries the garlic through.
Add the cheese
Scatter the grated mozzarella evenly across the buttered surface, right to the edges, so every bite pulls a thread of melted cheese and the corners crisp up rather than staying bare and pale.
Fit the basket
Cut the halves to fit your basket if needed and lay them cheese-side up in a single layer without overlapping. Space around each piece lets the hot air crisp the crust all the way round.
Air-fry
Air fry at 180°C for 8 min until the cheese is bubbling and golden and the crust is crisp. Scatter over the remaining parsley and slice into pieces to serve while the cheese is still hot and stretchy.
