Ultimate Air Fryer Cheese Toast
Crispy golden bread with bubbling, gooey cheese in just a few minutes—an easy snack, breakfast, or light lunch. Air frying at around 180°C/350°F works well for getting crisp bread while melting the cheese evenly.
Ingredients — 2 servings
- 2 slices thick bread
- ½–¾ cup grated cheddar, mozzarella, Gouda, or a mixture
- 1–2 teaspoons softened butter
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, chili flakes, oregano, or chopped chives
Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C/350°F.
- Lightly butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place the bread butter-side down in the basket.
- Cover with grated cheese and add your chosen seasonings.
- Air fry for 4–6 minutes, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Let it stand for about 1 minute, then serve while hot.
🔥 For extra-crispy toast
Air-fry the plain bread for 1–2 minutes before adding the cheese. This helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy while the cheese melts.
