Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee (healthier alternative to butter)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese You can also use cubed cheese, but I prefer shredded.
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds.
- Add olive oil, garlic, parsley, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper to the butter and stir.
- Place the bread down flat, horizontally. Cut the bread using a serrated bread knife diagonally, about 2/3rds of the way through the bread, without cutting through the bread. Avoid the edges of the bread (about 1 inch from the corners). Turn the bread around and make diagonal cuts the other way to create small diamond shapes.
- Load the garlic olive oil butter into the cracks and crevices throughout the bread. I used a cooking brush.
- Next, add the cheese into each of the cracks. You can use shredded cheese or cubed. Cubed cheese is a lot easier to stuff into the bread, but I prefer to use shredded because it melts easier. If using shredded you can try stuffing the cheese into the bread with a butter knife.
- Place the bread in the air fryer. Cook on 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Cool before serving.

Notes
Air Fryer Garlic Bread Tips:
- Measure and test your bread out first to be sure it will fit your air fryer. If the bread is too large you can trim it down some.
- You can use any bread that you like, just be sure it fits your air fryer.
- Be careful not to slice totally through the bread. If you notice a portion was sliced down too far, you can use a toothpick to hold the bread together.
- If you would like to have a bunch of pull apart areas of the bread, create a lot of slices in the bread, closer together. For large pull apart areas, make less slices in the bread.
- Feel free to add more cheese if you want more!
