Nothing beats a hearty, gooey and crunchy AirGrilled Cheese Sandwich. All you need is bread, butter and some cheese of your choice....voila....what a perfect comfort food!

With the Philips Airfryer it is so easy to have the perfect AirGrilled Cheese Sandwich that has a golden, crusty outside and oozy inside.

This is an awesome, easy and perfect recipe for me to prepare my lunch as my workload is pilling up and me working real hard to aim for a promotion this year.

Despite all the hardwork...everything can stop while I'm enjoying my piece of AirGrilled Cheese Sandwich!

AirGrilled Cheese Sandwich

2 slices Wholemeal Soft Bread
Shredded/Grated Cheese (I used Cheddar and Mozzarella)
Butter (salted)

Directions:

• Preheat the Airfryer at 180°C.
• Generously spread the cheese on one bread then cover it with the remaining slice.
  
• Place the sandwich on the grill pan then add a cube of butter on top of the sandwich (helps with browning the sandwich). 
   
  
• AirGrill for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
   
  

Salam Aidilfitri and happy holidays!

I'm having a not-so-fun holidays as I have to cancel my trip to Thailand because I'm down with flu and sore throat. Let's not dwell in my unsuccessful trip to Thailand but check out my freshly baked Italian Herbs Loaf!

This bread reminds me of those served at Italiannies...yum! Many years ago when I first dined in Italiannies I was impressed with their Herbs Infused Olive Oil. Since then I've been making my own Herbs Infused Olive Oil and believe me it is really easy to make one yourself.

To make your own Herbs Infused Olive Oil - you will need a brand new bottle of olive oil (250ml) and some Italian herbs. Pour the Italian herbs (about 4 tbsp) into the olive oil. Close the olive oil cap and let it sit for a week before using it for more herbs flavor to be infused in the oil.

This homemade Italian Herbs Infused Olive Oil is very versatile as you can use it for your regular cooking - great for bread dipping (with Balsamic vinegar), cooking pasta and stir-frying mushroom.

  

I used the Italian herbs infused olive oil in this recipe for a more richer taste of Italian herbs, alternatively you can use regular olive oil.

Italian Herbs Loaf

240gm Milk (you can also use water instead of milk)
30gm Olive Oil (I used my homemade Italian Herbs Infused Olive Oil)
1/2 tsp Salt
30gm Sugar
375gm Bread Flour
1 1/2 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
1 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast

Topping (optional):
Olive Oil (for brushing, again I used Italian Herbs Infused Olive Oil)
Coarse Salt
Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

• Place all the ingredients in the bucket following the order given in your manufacturer's instructions, or in the order listed here. 
• Set the machine for Basic setting and 1.5lbs size, and set the Crust/Color to Light. 
• Just before the machine start to bake (when the dough has finished proofing), brush the top of the loaf with olive oil and sprinkle over with coarse salt and ground black pepper. 
   
   
    
  
• Once done, turn the loaf out onto a wire rack as soon as possible. Let it cool completely before slicing the bread. 
   
  

Making breakfast full of surprise for my boy so I decided to use the freshly baked Wholemeal Black Sesame Loaf  to create something fun and tasty.

This is an easy and require very little effort sandwich, trust me you will be amazed how your child will respond when he/she sees it. 

My boy was all smiley during his breakfast meal.

All you need is to get a Panda Bear sandwich cutter, two slices of bread and some fruit jam (Nutella is a good choice too). Cut the panda bear shape sandwich according to the instruction on the box. Once you are done cutting the sandwich, use a small butter knife and gently spread the fruit jam on the panda's face. 

It is a simple, easy and healthy meal for your little ones with an added little surprise to it.

Happy trying!
