Zubereitung

1. 1

   Cut the top off each garlic bulb so that all the cloves are exposed. Pull off the loose outer skins, but keep the bulb itself together.

2. 2

   Brush the cut surfaces with the olive oil, season with the salt and the pepper and lay the thyme sprigs, broken into pieces, on top.

3. 3

   Preheat the airfryer to 160 °C.

4. 4

   Cut a piece of baking paper to the size of the basket base and set the bulbs on it cut side up in a single layer with space between them, without stacking anything; cook larger quantities in two batches. The paper has to be weighed down by the bulbs, otherwise the air stream lifts it. Cook at 160 °C.

5. 5

   Do not turn the bulbs, as the oil would run out of the cloves and the cut surfaces would dry out. Instead continue cooking at 160 °C until the cloves feel soft under pressure and look golden.

6. 6

   Take the bulbs out and keep them warm, then lay the white bread in the basket in a single layer and toast it at 160 °C.

7. 7

   Squeeze the soft cloves out of their skins and spread them over the toasted white bread.
