Air Fryer Cheesy Toast – The Easiest 1-Minute Side Dish You’ll Make on Repeat

My boys ask for this at least once a week – and I always say yes because it’s easy to make a gluten free version too!

If you’ve ever needed a quick side dish that feels a little fancy without any extra effort, this Air Fryer Cheesy Toast is about to become your new best friend.

In just 1 MINUTE, you’ll have perfectly golden, bubbly, melty toast that pairs with practically everything — soups, salads, pasta nights, you name it.

I’ll either use garlic salt or Ranch dressing dry mix, depending on what we are having with this Cheesy Toast.

It’s the kind of simple recipe that looks like you tried really hard, and I love that for us!
