Ingredients
- bread4 slices
- cheese80 g
- capsicum2 tbsp, chopped
- onion2 tbsp, chopped
- chilli flakes1/2 tsp
Method
Mix the topping
Mix the cheese, chopped capsicum, onion and chilli flakes in a bowl. Stir it well so the veg and heat are spread all through, which means every finger gets an even bite of cheese and a little crunch.
Top the bread
Spread the mixture evenly on each bread slice, right to the edges. Covering the corners stops them from drying out and burning, so the whole slice browns evenly and no dry crust is left bare.
Cut into fingers
Cut each slice into three long fingers. Slicing them before they cook lets the hot air reach the cut sides, so the edges crisp up and the fingers are easy to lift out and share.
Air fry
Air fry the toast fingers at 180°C for 6 min until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden and crisp. Lay them flat with a little gap so the hot air can crisp the base and not just the top.
