Air fryers can yield perfectly crispy, golden-brown, cheesy garlic bread without the cheese creating a gooey mess, as the bread will effectively contain the melting cheese.

To make garlic bread in an air fryer, add a handful of melty cheeses, like parmesan, cheddar, Gouda, or provolone, to your garlic butter mixture and spread it on your bread slices.

Once you pop the slices into the air fryer, the cheese will melt beautifully in the heat, creating a rich, flavorful topping for your garlic bread that’s sure to become a favorite.

If you want to make a pull-apart garlic bread, cut a round loaf in a crosshatch pattern, pour your garlic butter and some mozzarella into the resulting seams, and air-fry the loaf.

Once air-fried, you can pull apart individual pieces from the loaf to savor. For a richer yet well-balanced flavor, consider using a blend of melting and sharp-tasting cheeses.
