Cheese on Toast Recipe!

Cheese on Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your preferred type)

• Butter (optional, for spreading on the bread)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar is commonly used, but any melting cheese like mozzarella or a cheese blend works well)

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (optional, such as oregano or basil)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread:

   • Optionally, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will give the toast a golden, crispy texture.

   • Place the bread slices on a cutting board with the buttered side down if using butter.

2. Add the Cheese:

   • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of each slice of bread.

   • Add a pinch of garlic powder and dried herbs for extra flavor, and season with a little salt and pepper.

3. Air Fry:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

   • Place the prepared slices of bread with cheese in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping.

   • Air fry the cheese on toast for about 4-6 minutes, checking halfway through. Keep an eye on the toast to prevent burning. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread will be golden and crisp.

4. Serve:

   • Carefully remove the cheese on toast from the air fryer.

   • Let it cool for a minute before serving, and enjoy your perfectly cheesy snack!

Q&A

Q: Can I use a different kind of cheese?

• Yes! While cheddar is the most common cheese for this recipe, you can experiment with mozzarella, gouda, Swiss, or a cheese blend. You can even try a blue cheese for a more intense flavor.

Q: Can I make this without butter?

• Absolutely! If you prefer not to use butter, you can skip it. The cheese will still melt wonderfully and give a nice, crispy texture to the toast.

Q: How can I make this recipe more flavorful?

• For added flavor, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, or even a drizzle of hot sauce after cooking. You could also layer on a bit of cooked bacon or add tomato slices before air frying.

Q: How can I make this gluten-free?

• You can easily use gluten-free bread for this recipe to make it suitable for those with dietary restrictions.

Q: How do I reheat leftover cheese on toast?

• To reheat, you can put it back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until the cheese is bubbly again and the toast is crispy.
