Air Fryer Savoury Toast: Why You'll Love This Recipe
If you’re like me and love a recipe that’s both delicious and uncomplicated, then you’re going to adore this Air Fryer Savoury Toast. 🥰 The combination of crispy bread, gooey cheese, and a flavour-packed topping makes these toasts incredibly satisfying. Plus, the air fryer gives them that perfect crunch without needing loads of oil, so you get a healthier version of your favourite snack. It’s the perfect way to use up leftover bread and make something truly delicious out of it.
Tips for Making the Best Air Fryer Savoury Toast
To ensure your Air Fryer Savoury Toast turns out perfectly every time, here are some handy tips and tricks:
- Choose the Right Bread: Go for a sturdy bread like sourdough or a thick-cut white loaf. Soft, thin bread might not hold up well under the toppings and could get too soggy.
- Grate Your Own Cheese: While pre-grated cheese is convenient, it often contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting as smoothly. For the best gooey cheese pull, grate your cheese fresh.
- Customise Your Toppings: The beauty of this recipe is how adaptable it is. Swap out the ham for cooked bacon, leftover chicken, or even a vegetarian option like sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Just like with an oven, preheating your air fryer helps ensure even cooking. Give it a quick 2-3 minute preheat at the required temperature before adding your toast.
- Don’t Overload the Toppings: While it’s tempting to pile on all the goodies, too many toppings can make the bread soggy and prevent the cheese from melting properly. Keep it balanced for the best results.
Perfect Pairings for Your Savoury Toast
This Air Fryer Savoury Toast are delicious on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a variety of sides and drinks:
- Soup: Pair your savoury toast with a warm bowl of tomato or pumpkin soup for a comforting meal.
- Salad: A fresh garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette complements the rich flavours of the toast perfectly.
- Tea or Coffee: Enjoy these toasts with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a satisfying snack that keeps you energised throughout the day.

No worries! You can easily make these toasts in a conventional oven. Just preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and bake the toasts on a tray for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Simple! Just leave out the ham or replace it with a meat-free alternative like diced capsicum, sautéed mushrooms, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour.
