How to Re-Heat Air Fried Frozen Texas Toast (cheese bread)

There’s different types of Texas toast brands and they all cook a little differently in various models of air fryers. Also, some brands call the same product as “cheese bread or cheese toast”. Just remember that they’re all basically the same kind of product. Here’s some easy air fryer re-heating tips to remember:

  • If the toast is just butter and garlic, you should flip the toast so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • If the toast has cheese on top, then air fry the toast with the cheese side facing up. Don’t flip the toast or else the cheese side will stick to the air fryer basket or rack.
  • Start with the lowest air fry time we suggest and check to see if the toast is to your preferred texture. If not, then increase time when needed and if you want your toast crispy, definitely add a little more time.
  • Is it better to cook texas toast in a bucket or oven style air fryer? Here’s our deep discussion comparing both types of air fryers.

We LOVE Evo Oil Sprayers. Not the prettiest, but they’re functional and spritz oil great! They don’t clog up like many others we’ve bought. There’s different styles, but all seem to have the same great spray head. Works great for grilling!

Air Fryer Frozen Texas Toast (with cheese or without)

Yield: 4 servings
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Different brands of frozen texas toast all vary in thickness, & cheese or garlic options so you’ll have to adjust timing. Only cook a single layer's worth at time for even cooking. Cook in multiple batches if needed. Do not thaw before air frying.
For non-cheese Texas toast, we find it best to flip about halfway through cooking. For the cheese versions, you don't want to flip or else you'll lose your cheese.
All air fryers are different and some cook much hotter than others. Once you cook your first batch, you’ll know more of what works for your model of air fryer and size of food. These were tested on basket style air fryers. Read more recipe notes below the recipe. Nutrition will vary depending on individual brands. Nutrition is based on Cheese Texas Toast.

Equipment

Instructions 

  • Place the frozen Texas toasts in the air fryer basket and spread in an even layer (make sure they aren't overlapping). No oil spray is needed.

Cheese Texas Toast

    If you’re cooking only 1-2 pieces it might take about 5-6 minutes. Timing will also depend on how crisp you like your toast, the type of cheese, how thick the toast is, etc. Test a piece first and you’ll know more of what your preferred timing is like for your particular frozen cheese toast.

Notes

Air Frying Tips and Notes:
  1. No Oil Necessary. Cook Frozen – Do not thaw first.
  2. Cook in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Recipe timing is based on a non-preheated air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches back to back, the following batches may cook a little quicker. 
  4. Recipes were tested in 3.7 to 6 qt. air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, they might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
  5. If you’re using an oven-style air fryer with racks, you will need to rotate the racks because the top racks closest to the heating element will cook much quicker. 

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

Why did the cheese bread or texas toast burn?

It’s probably because your air fryer cooks really hot or the heating element is too close to the toast. Reduce the air fryer temperature to 320°F or cook it for about 1 minute less.
