Garlic Cheese Bread Ingredients
- Texas Toast style bread
- Softened salted butter – you can use unsalted butter if that’s what you have
- Garlic – I most often use “jarlic” because it’s easier
- Salt
- Shredded Cheese – You can use a five cheese blend (Asiago, Mozzarella, Cheddar, Provolone & Parmesan Cheese) to match the Texas Toast brand – but you can also use Mozzarella cheese.
- OPTIONAL: You can add Italian Seasoning, fresh herbs like rosemary, basil & oregano or even red pepper flakes for a kick of spice
This recipe was made using the Paula Deen Air Fryer.
How to make Cheesy Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer
- In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, garlic and salt with a small spatula
- Spread garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of Texas Toast
- Lay bread, butter side up, in a single layer in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd – I can do 2 slices at a time)
- Top each slice with 1/8 cup shredded cheese
- Air Fry at 375º for 4 minutes
- Bread won’t “brown” like it would in oven – check bread and be sure it’s crispy on edges and cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle garlic bread slices with fresh parsley and serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs
Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the air fryer at 300º for 2-3 minutes.
It’s super simple! I mix the butter, garlic and salt together – then spread it on the bread. Then I put the slices in the air fryer and put the cheese on once the bread was in the air fryer. I didn’t want the cheese to fall off as I was putting it in.
Yes! Same recipe – but bake at 350º for 8-10 minutes.
If you like a crusty bread, slice up a french baguette – or a loaf of Italian bread.
