    Ingredients

    These Cheese Chili Toasts require only 4 main ingredients and you can make so many different variations with optional toppings of your choice. Plus it is low cost since all the ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find in regular grocery store.

    ingredients used in making this Garlic Toast in Air Fryer recipe.

    Bread: You can use whichever bread that is readily available. Whole wheat bread works well too. I prefer to use whole grain slice of bread since it is always in the house. If you want to make it like Texas toast, use a French loaf instead.

    Butter: Use plain or salted butter. Use it at room temperature. If you are using it straight from the refrigerator , melt it for 30 seconds so it is spreadable.

    Garlic: Peeled and minced . I prefer fresh garlic cloves but you can use bottled as well.

    Cheese: You can use your favorite type of shredded cheese or whatever is available at home. I used Colby Jack cheese. Mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese work best.

    Additional Toppings: Chili flakes, red pepper, dried or fresh herbs like oregano, parsley, basil, or cilantro, Italian seasoning.

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    In a mixing bowl, combine butter, garlic and salt (if unsalted butter) Butter should be room temperature or slightly melted and spreadable. 

    Spread the butter garlic mixture with a butter knife or back of a spoon on top of the bread slices.

    Arrange them in a single layer on the air fryer basket.

    Spread shredded cheese on top of the buttered slices.  

    Sprinkle chili flakes and other seasonings as per your liking.

    Air fry at 350 ° Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Check for doneness. Add extra minute if needed till toast is golden brown and cheese is melted.

    Other Cooking Methods

    You can also make this recipe on the stove top or in the oven . Here’s how

    Stove Top Option: Warm up the griddle, grill pan or an omelet pan on medium high heat. Place the toasts on the griddle. Toast till toast is crispy and cheese is gooey.

    Oven Baking Option : In a preheated oven bake at 350 °Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Check for doneness. Add extra few minute if needed till cheese is melted.

    Serving Suggestions

    A cup of tea with hot and lip-smacking cheese chili toast makes me so nostalgic of my homeland. Speaking of chai tea, do try our Indian Masala Chai recipe which is perfect pick me upper with this toast on wintry or rainy gloomy days.

    Similar to Masala Toast Sandwich and Avocado Toast, this is my favorite toast recipe. It pairs well with this Creamy Tomato Soup , Mushroom Soup or Carrot Ginger Soup.

    You can also serve it as a side dish for pasta dinners like Penne Pesto Primavera, Penne Rosa or Creamy Orzo with Lemon and Peas. It is excellent side dish to serve with plant based Vegan Nut Roast as well.

    How to Make Vegan Garlic Bread toast?

    Which bread should I use?

    I used sliced wholegrain white bread because I always have it in my refrigerator for making quick lunch sandwiches like this Banana peanut butter sandwich or masala toast sandwich.

    Garlic Cheese Toast is best when eaten freshly made. Serve it warm so melted cheese stretchy and yummy. If you must store this homemade garlic toast, wrap it in aluminum foil and store up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

    To Freeze : Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and flash freeze until hardened. Once frozen, transfer it in zip-loc bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

    To reheat, simply pop in the air fryer and warm it up for 5 minutes on low setting.
