Notes

Storage Information

This cheesy bread is best served immediately, but you can wrap it up in tin foil or put it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven, air fryer or microwave.

Bacon: You can can pan fry the bacon or make baked bacon or even use air fryer bacon.

If your broiler runs really hot, bake the bread for 7 to 8 minutes at 400°F and finish under the broiler if you'd like it more crispy.

To Air Fry: Assemble as directed, cut into pieces that will fit in your air fryer and air fry for 3 to 5 minutes at 350°F.
