Indulge in the divine simplicity of our Air Fryer Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart Boule—a delightful twist on a classic that brings together the rustic charm of a round boule with the irresistible allure of melted cheese and garlic-infused butter. Perfect for holiday gatherings!
Ingredients:
- 1 round boule bread (sourdough or white)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare the Boule:
- Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts in the boule, creating a grid pattern. Make sure not to cut all the way through, leaving the bottom intact.
- Make Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Boule:
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the entire surface of the boule, ensuring it gets into the cuts.
- Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese into the cuts, making sure the cheese is evenly distributed.
- Wrap in Foil (Optional):
- If you prefer a softer pull-apart bread, you can wrap the prepared boule in foil, leaving the top open, before placing it in the air fryer.
- Air Fry:
- Place the prepared boule in the EaZy MealZ Round Air Fryer Crisper Basket. Air fry for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the cheesy garlic pull-apart boule from the air fryer. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy:
- Pull apart the sections of the boule and enjoy the irresistible combination of cheesy goodness and garlicky flavor.
