Ingredients- 2 slices thick-cut bread
- 2 slices processed cheese (e.g., cheddar or American)
- 1 handful mozzarella cheese (about 50g)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons canned sweet corn, drained
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped or left whole
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s gather all the stars of our toast! You’ll need two slices of thick, hearty bread, two slices of flavorful processed cheese (like cheddar or American for richness), and a generous handful of mozzarella cheese for that irresistible stretch. We’ll also prepare butter, sweet corn kernels, some crispy bacon, and a sprinkle of parsley for garnish and flavor.
Step 2
Generously spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This butter layer is key to achieving a perfectly golden and crispy exterior. Don’t be shy with the butter; it adds a wonderful richness!
Step 3
On one buttered slice of bread, carefully place one slice of processed cheese. This will form the first cheesy layer, melting beautifully as it cooks.
Step 4
Next, scatter a good amount of the drained sweet corn kernels over the processed cheese. The pop of sweetness from the corn beautifully contrasts with the savory cheese.
Step 5
Now for the showstopper: generously pile on the mozzarella cheese. The more you add, the more satisfyingly gooey and stretchy your toast will be!
Step 6
Add the second slice of processed cheese on top of the mozzarella. This creates a double layer of cheesy goodness, ensuring a rich flavor in every bite.
Step 7
Arrange the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the top cheese layer. Whether you chop it or leave strips, the salty, crispy bacon adds a wonderful savory dimension.
Step 8
Take the second slice of bread, butter-side up, and place it on top of the bacon and cheese. Gently press down to compact the fillings slightly. Now, butter the top surface of this final slice of bread.
Step 9
Sprinkle the dried parsley flakes over the buttered top of the sandwich for a touch of color and herbaceous aroma. Place the sandwich in your air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes, or until the bread is lightly golden and the cheese is beginning to melt.
Step 10
Carefully remove the toast from the air fryer and gently flip it over. Spread another layer of butter on this newly exposed side, and sprinkle with more parsley. Return it to the air fryer and cook for another 3 minutes at 180°C (350°F) to achieve that perfect crispy-chewy texture.
Step 11
Ding! Your incredible triple cheese toast is ready! Let it cool for just a moment before slicing it into your desired portions. Serve immediately with an ice-cold iced Americano for a delightful contrast. Enjoy the ultimate cheesy experience!
