Air Fryer Crumpet Garlic Bread

Crumpets are a delicious alternative to traditional bread, and when turned into garlic bread, they make for a quick and tasty snack. Here’s how you can make Air Fryer Crumpet Garlic Bread.

Ingredients:

  • 4 crumpets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
    • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Spread the Garlic Butter:
    • Slice the crumpets in half horizontally to create flat surfaces. Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture on the cut side of each crumpet half.
  3. Air Fry the Crumpets:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
    • Place the crumpet halves in the air fryer basket, garlic butter side up.
    • Air fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the crumpets are golden and crispy on the edges.
  4. Add Cheese (Optional):
    • If you like, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the crumpets during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the crumpets from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack or side dish.

Tips:

  • You can experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary for a unique flavor twist.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
