Equipment

Ingredients

1 Loaf Ciabatta bread
½ cup Butter softened (1 stick)
½ cup Mayonnaise
½ cup Cheddar cheese shredded
½ cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
4 cloves Garlic minced
¼ teaspoon Oregano to finish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Cut a large loaf of ciabatta bread in half, horizontally. If using a smaller sheet tray, you can cut the ciabatta into smaller pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, mayonnaise, shredded cheeses, and garlic.
Divide the cheesy garlic butter in half, spreading each portion liberally onto the ciabatta halves. You should have a thicker layer of cheese spread on each side of the ciabatta.
Bake the cheese toast for 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Switch the oven to broil on HI for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese and the bread is lightly brown and crisp.
Cut the garlic bread into squares or triangles, and serve while hot.

Notes

Air Fryer Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Prepare the recipe as per standard instructions.
Place the prepared garlic cheese bread in the air fryer basket, and air fry for 7-8 minutes to start.
Check on the garlic bread every couple of minutes afterward, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Expert Tips

Soften butter quickly: If you forget to take the butter out of the fridge in time to soften it, you can put an unwrapped stick of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10 second increments until you can easily press your finger into the butter. Try not to melt the butter.

Extra crispy bread: If you prefer your garlic bread to be extra crispy, you can pre-bake the ciabatta bread for 5 minutes, and then add your garlic cheese spread to the top.

Watch the oven closely: While broiling the bread, keep a close eye on the oven to make sure that the cheese does not get overly crisp and brown.
