Introduction
I love the texture of a crumpet, and this easy tear ‘n’ share is a perfect alternative when you are this close to ordering a pizza on a Tuesday night. Hopefully this cheesy, garlicky number will satisfy any greasy pizza cravings and save you money at the same time. I’ve suggested this serves 3–4, but it will do just as well for two hungry people.
Ingredients
| 6 | garlic cloves, crushed |
| 100g | light butter |
| pinch of | sea salt |
| handful of | freshly chopped parsley |
| 8 | crumpets |
| 100g | grated mozzarella cheese (preferably reduced-fat) |
Essential kit
You will need: an air fryer.
Method
In a bowl, combine the garlic, butter, salt and parsley.
Spread all of the crumpets with the garlic butter. Top half of the crumpets with a little mozzarella, then sandwich together with the remaining crumpets. Cut the crumpets in half and scatter in an ovenproof dish, there is no art to it so organise in whatever way you like.
Top with the remaining mozzarella.
Air-fry at 180°C for 8–9 minutes, then tear and share the life out of it!
