Ingredients
- Bread slices or baguette4
- Softened butter3 tbsp
- Garlic, minced4 cloves
- Mixed grated cheese3/4 cup
- Dried oregano & chilli flakes1 tsp
- Fresh parsley or coriander1 tbsp
Method
Whip the garlic butter
Mash the softened butter with the minced garlic, oregano and a pinch of salt until smooth. Letting it sit a few minutes lets the garlic flavour spread through the butter for a deeper, even taste.
Coat the bread
Spread the garlic butter thickly over each bread slice, working it right into the surface. This buttered layer soaks in and is what gives the toast its golden crunch and savoury depth.
Top with cheese
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the buttered slices and add a few chilli flakes. Keep the cheese flat and even so it melts into one smooth sheet rather than bald patches.
Air-fry until bubbly
Arrange the slices in a single layer and cook at 200°C for 8 min until the cheese is molten and the crust is crisp and golden. Scatter the fresh herbs over just before serving warm.
