Air Fryer Chilli Cheese Toast

Ingredients

• 4 slices bread
• 1 cup grated cheese
• 1–2 green chillies, finely chopped (optional)
• ¼ capsicum, finely chopped (optional)
• ¼ onion, finely chopped (optional)
• Butter, for spreading (optional)
• Oregano, to sprinkle (optional)

Steps

1. Butter the bread slices generously on one side so the edges crisp instead of drying out.
2. In a bowl, mix the grated cheese with the chopped green chillies, capsicum and onion so every bite gets a bit of each.
3. Pile the cheese mixture onto the buttered side of each bread slice, mounding it slightly since cheese spreads and settles as it melts.
4. Sprinkle oregano over the top.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
6. Place the bread slices in the basket, weighing them down with a small rack or parchment weight if your fan tends to lift them.
7. Air fry for 3 minutes.
8. Check the cheese — if it's melting unevenly, rotate the slices.
9. Air fry for a final 2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese bubbles and turns golden in spots — it can go from melted to burnt quickly at this temperature.

Tip: Put a small rack or parchment weight on top if your fan lifts the bread.
