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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Cheese (Optional):
- If you like, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the crumpets during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
- 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.
