Warm goat cheese salad prepared in the air fryer

🥗 Quick answer: For perfect warm goat cheese toasts in the Air Fryer, cook for 5 to 6 minutes at 180°C . Use thick country bread and add a drizzle of honey after cooking to preserve all the flavors.

💡 Why does the Air Fryer change everything?

Unlike a traditional oven, the Air Fryer uses ultra-fast convection that instantly sears the bread crust . The result? A base that remains firm under the weight of the melted cheese, without ever becoming soggy. It's the ideal method for achieving that "crunchy/melty" contrast worthy of the best Parisian bistros.

🛒 Your Ingredients

For 4 people

🥖 8 Slices of bread

🧀 1 Goat's Log

🍯 2 Liquid Honey

🌰 8 Walnut kernels

⚡ Step by step: The Neary method

1 The Base: Cut slices of country bread 1.5 cm thick. If the bread is very fresh, toast it for 2 minutes on its own in the Air Fryer at 180°C to firm it up.

2. Assembly: Place a generous slice of goat cheese. Add a pinch of thyme and the crushed walnuts.

3. Cooking: Place the toasts in the basket. Cook for 5-6 minutes at 180°C . Watch carefully: the cheese should brown around the edges but remain white and domed in the center.

🔥 Lou's Advice

Tired of dripping honey?

Add the honey immediately after removing the cheese from the air fryer. The residual heat from the cheese will be enough to coat it perfectly without it burning or evaporating during cooking.

🤫 Secrets to keeping things interesting

The Chic Bistro: Rub a clove of garlic on the toast before placing the goat cheese on top.
Sweet and Savory: Slide a thin slice of Granny Smith apple under the cheese to add acidity.
The Provençal version: Replace the honey with a small spoonful of fig or onion confit.

❓ FAQ about Goat Cheese Toasts

Can fresh goat cheese be used?

It's best to use a log of Sainte-Maure cheese or small round goat cheeses. Fresh goat cheese contains too much water and risks making your bread soggy in the air fryer.

My goat cheese isn't melting, why?

Some industrial brands add stabilizers. For a runny result, choose a cheese with a well-defined bloomy (white) rind.
