Super Easy Air Fryer Corn Cheese Baguette
The Best Snack for Kids! How to Make Delicious Corn Cheese Baguette in an Air Fryer
When it comes to cooking, I find myself more excited in front of the air fryer than over the stove! While I typically cook hearty side dishes or soups on the stovetop, the air fryer is my go-to for whipping up delicious snacks. And today’s snack is none other than the universally loved ‘Corn Cheese Baguette’! While you can add a spicy kick, today we’re making it sweet and savory, perfect for those who can’t handle spice, and even for little children to enjoy without any worries. Let me guide you through making this incredibly simple yet delicious snack right now!
Essential Ingredients- 8 slices of baguette (cut to your preferred thickness)
- 1/2 green bell pepper (diced into small 0.5cm pieces)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (diced into small 0.5cm pieces)
- 200g canned sweet corn (drained thoroughly)
- 100g mozzarella cheese (pile it on generously!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh green and red bell peppers. Then, dice them into small, approximately 0.5cm x 0.5cm cubes. Dicing them this small helps them integrate beautifully with the corn cheese mixture.
Step 2
Next, drain the canned sweet corn very well using a sieve. Excess water can make the corn cheese filling too watery, making it difficult to spread on the baguette. For best results, gently pat it dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious corn cheese filling. In a large bowl, combine the drained sweet corn, diced green and red bell peppers, mozzarella cheese (don’t be shy!), 1 tablespoon of sugar for sweetness, 1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley for that lovely aroma, and 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise for a creamy texture. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 4
Using a spoon, generously top each baguette slice with the corn cheese mixture prepared in step 2. Make sure to fill it right to the edges so that the toppings don’t slide off when you take a bite.
Step 5
Arrange the topped baguettes on an air fryer-specific pan or an oven-safe baking sheet. Leave a little space between each baguette to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Preheat your air fryer, then cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes. This time is enough to melt the cheese and get the baguette lightly toasted. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on it.
Step 7
After 5 minutes, when the cheese is beautifully melted and the edges of the baguette are slightly crisp, your Corn Cheese Baguette is ready! It’s best enjoyed warm. Serve it up for a delightful café-style treat at home!
