Description

This cheesy garlic bread is the perfect addition to any meal, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf Italian bread or French baguette
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened to room temperature (not melted)
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder (or 3 cloves garlic, minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (optional)
  • 2 cups Kraft Creamy Melt Shredded Mozzarella cheese (8 ounce bag)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon dried parsley flakes (for garnish, optional)
  • Marinara sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice 1 loaf Italian bread or French baguette into slices about 2” thick.
  2. In a bowl mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened to room temperature, 1 Tablespoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  3. Generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto each slice of bread.
  4. In a bowl, combine 2 cups Kraft Creamy Melt Shredded Mozzarella cheese with 1/4 cup mayonnaise. It will be a little clumpy, that’s okay.
  5. Evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese mixture onto each piece of bread and sprinkle each with dried parsley flakes.
  6. Place the bread into the Air fryer and cook for 3-4 minutes at 350F degrees (or until cheese has melted and bread is toasted). This will need to be done in batches.
  7. Serve with marinara sauce, for dipping (optional).

Notes

  • This can take a little longer in some air fryers, so check that the cheese is fully melted and the bread is toasted.
