- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

- Place the prepared crumpet halves in the air fryer basket, cut side up.
- Air fry the crumpet garlic bread at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese (if using) is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, carefully remove the crumpet garlic bread from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve the air fryer crumpet garlic bread hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Note: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of your crumpets and the efficiency of your air fryer. Keep an eye on the garlic bread towards the end of cooking to prevent burning.
