Ingredients
- 5 slices white bread
- 20g melted butter
Instructions
- Cut the bread: Using a small star-shaped cookie cutter, cut about 15 star pieces from the white bread, roughly three stars per slice. Save the leftover bread to blitz into crumbs for later use.
- Prepare the crumbs: Place leftover bread scraps into a food processor, pulse to create fine crumbs, then freeze the crumbs for future recipes or use.
- Brush with butter: Lightly brush one side of each star-shaped bread piece with melted butter to enhance browning and crispness during cooking.
- Air fry the toast: Arrange the buttered bread stars in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 8-10 minutes until the bread pieces are golden brown and crisp.
- Store or serve: These star toasts can be kept for up to one day in an airtight container. Add your favorite toppings, such as spreads or cheeses, to complete the dish before serving.
Notes
- The leftover bread crumbs can be stored in the freezer for future use in recipes like breading or stuffing.
- Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow even cooking and crisping of the bread stars.
- You can substitute white bread with whole wheat or gluten-free bread for variation.
- Add toppings such as avocado, cream cheese, jam, or smoked salmon for a flavorful snack or appetizer.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer model; check for a golden crisp finish.
