Air Fryer Cheesy Pesto Bread

 

In looking for easy and quick air fryer ideas and to use up some ingredients in the house, I made this quick cheese pesto bread, and it immediately became part of our usual rotation.  

The pesto and seasonings could easily be replaced with sauces, seasonings, and toppings of choice—however, do place any light seasoning or toppings (i.e. pepperoni) under the cheese to prevent being blown around or burned too quickly.
