My hack makes the scrummiest air fryer crumpet garlic bread in just eight minutes and it only costs 50p
CALLING all garlic bread fans! If you want to elevate your tasty snack a new air fryer hack could be a game-changer.
One foodie showed how they created the “scrummy” treat using crumpets, garlic butter, and cheese – and it looked mouthwatering.
The best part of the hack is that it only takes eight minutes to cook, so you don’t have to wait long at all to tuck in.
A video was shared by Asda showing exactly how to replicate it at home in minutes – using 50p crumpets from the supermarket.
They shared: “Guys, you’ve seriously gotta try these loaded crumpets with garlic bread.
“First off, get your crumpets, cut them into pieces.
“Then we’re gonna make the garlic butter.
“Chop up your garlic, stick it in with your butter, and then put some Italian herb in there as well.
“Once that’s hardened up, you wanna spread it over your crumpets.”
The foodie then showed how he sprinkled some mozzarella cheese on top of the crumpets.
He added: “Stick it on one side, cause you want that cheese to melt inside the garlic bread.
“It really makes it.”
Then it’s time to cook your crumpet garlic bread, and you should stick it in your air fryer for eight minutes.
He added: “When you pull them out, the cheese will be nice and melted and be quite stringy.
“Yeah, just like that. Look at that. They’re amazing.
“And these tasted, like, really good as well.
“And then I sprinkle some coriander over the top to make them look pretty.
“But seriously, you guys really have to give these a go.”
After the video was shared on the Asda account, it has racked up over 58,000 likes.
One person wrote: “Everybody is so creative.”
Another added: “I love crumpets and cheese.”
A third wrote: “That’s naughty.”
Air fryer pizza
This follows a woman sharing how she makes tasty pizza in the her air fryer and they taste just like the ones from Pizza Hut.
Foodie Eloise Head shared the easy recipe on her Instagram account @fitwaffle and it’s ready to eat in just eight minutes.
To make the pizza you’ll need a ready made naan bread, which you can grab from your local supermarket for as little as 80p.
Eloise said: “Naan bread is so thick and fluffy and it tastes great on it’s own, but made into a pizza it tastes like Pizza Hut.”
The food fan spread pizza sauce over the top of the naan bread bore sprinkling over grated mozzarella and Pepperami stick slices.
Before popping it into the air fryer she added a dusting of parmesan cheese and cooked for eight minutes at 180C.
Once the cheese is fully melted Eloise sprinkled Italian herbs over the pizza and cut it into slices.
“It was so good and so quick and easy and it tasted better than supermarket pizza, although these ingredients were from the supermarket, but you get what I mean,” she said.
Other food fans couldn’t believe how delicious the finished pizza looked and many said they’d try making it for themselves.
Rise of the air fryer
Air fryers have maintained their spot the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year.
Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens.
The retailer said: “In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times.
“However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.”
The only other products that “shaped the year” were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, again as households brought in gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.
