Garlic Bread with Cottage Cheese in the Air Fryer

Directions

1. Prepare the Garlic-Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, finely chop the parsley (optional) and garlic. Mix together with milk cream, cream cheese, grated cheese, mozzarella, and a pinch of salt until a smooth, homogeneous paste forms.
2. Prepare the Bread: Slice the loaf into thick slices, making sure not to cut all the way through if you prefer pull-apart style.
3. Spread the Mixture: Use a knife or spatula to spread the garlic-cottage cheese mixture evenly over each slice, making sure the mixture seeps between cuts for maximum flavor.
4. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the prepared bread inside and cook for 8–12 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
5. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while warm and melty.
