- 100g (1 cup) pre-grated 3 cheese blend
Method:
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter, finely chopped parsley, crushed garlic cloves, and sea salt flakes. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a flavorful garlic herb butter.
- Spread Garlic Butter: Generously spread teaspoonfuls of the garlic herb butter over each halved crumpet, ensuring that each surface is coated with the delicious mixture.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous pinch of the pre-grated cheese blend over half of the garlic-buttered crumpet halves, creating a layer of gooey cheese.
- Create Sandwiches: Place the remaining garlic-buttered crumpet halves on top of the cheese-covered halves, creating crumpet sandwiches.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Line the air fryer basket with foil for easy cleanup, then place the crumpet sandwiches, cut side down, in the basket. Ensure they are arranged in a single layer with space between each one.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top of the crumpet sandwiches, ensuring each one is generously coated.
- Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 180°C (356°F) and cook the crumpet sandwiches for approximately 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish with Garlic Butter: Once cooked, brush the remaining garlic herb butter over the tops of the hot crumpets for an extra burst of flavor.
