Preparation
- Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the cottage cheese layer.
- Add your selected toppings, getting creative with any combination you like.
Cooking
- Place the prepared slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the toast from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, then slice and serve.
