🍽️ Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. This ensures even toasting and crisp edges.

Step 2: Build the Toasts
Spread roughly ¼ cup of cottage cheese over each slice of bread, reaching all the way to the edges.
Step 3: Add Banana & Spice
Layer banana slices over the cheese. Sprinkle each toast with cinnamon and drizzle lightly with maple syrup.
Step 4: Toast to Perfection
Place two slices in the air fryer basket (avoid overcrowding). Cook at 375°F for 5–7 minutes until the edges are crisp and golden, the bananas caramelized, and the cheese warm and creamy.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Carefully remove and plate. Add an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
