Ingredients
 

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 loaf ltalian or French bread
  • 1/2 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 small bundle Italian parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Tbs. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes or to taste
  • Minced Italian parsley for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Using a sharp knife, cut off just enough of the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves inside.
  • Place the head of garlic onto a sheet of foil that’s just big enough to fully encase it.
  • Drizzle the head of garlic with olive oil, then loosely wrap in the foil so it’s completely encased.
  • Air fry the garlic in the foil for 20-25 minutes at 385 degrees F., or until softened and gives to the touch when it’s squeezed a bit.
  • While the garlic is cooling a bit, place the butter, parsley, and Parmesan into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Holding the head of garlic over the food processor bowl, gently squeeze it so the cloves pop out to join the other ingredients.
  • Pulse the ingredients until a smooth butter forms; transfer to a bowl.
  • Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, then cut each one of those in half so they will fit, two at a time, into the air fryer.
  • Divide the prepared butter between the four sections of bread, using spatula to spread it out evenly to the edges.
  • Sprinkle the butter on each section of bread with mozzarella; sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan, if desired.
  • Place two sections of the prepared bread into the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 385 degrees F. for 3-4 minutes or until nicely golden brown on top. Repeat with the two remaining sections of bread.
  • Combine the honey with the red pepper flakes; drizzle over the warm bread. Garnish with parsley, as desired.
  • Cut the warm bread into slices and serve at once!
