Katie Bishop's recipe contains Molten cheese, crumpets and Marmite – so what’s not to like? If your air fryer isn’t deep enough to take the crumpets whole, cut them into semi-circles after toasting, then assemble in a single layer.

Ingredients
6 sourdough crumpets
6 tsp Marmite, or to taste
350g tub four cheese sauce (from the chiller)
1/2 x 250g pack grated Cheddar & mozzarella
Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated, to sprinkle (optional)
Few rocket leaves, to serve (optional)
Method
Preheat the air fryer to 200ºC. If you have a
small loaf tin that fits into the air fryer (about
18x8cm), use that. If not, use the cardboard
sleeve from the crumpet pack as a size guide
to make a rough tray out of foil, discarding the
cardboard afterwards. Line the tin or foil tray
with a rectangle of baking parchment.
Toast the crumpets for 2-4 minutes in the
air fryer, turning halfway, until just golden.
Spread the hot crumpets with Marmite,
then top each with about 1 tsp cheese sauce.
Sprinkle each one with a little grated Cheddar
and mozzarella. Spoon ½ the remaining cheese
sauce into the base of the prepared tray
Stack the crumpets snugly on their sides
in the prepared tray. Dot with the remaining
sauce and sprinkle over the remaining grated
cheese and a little parmesan, if using. Bake
for 10 minutes until piping hot throughout,
bubbling and golden. Serve immediately. Some
black pepper on top and rocket leaves on the
side make tasty additions.
Cook’s tip
If you don’t have an air fryer, preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Line the base of a loaf tin (about 18x8cm). Toast the crumpets, under the grill or in the toaster, then cook the assembled loaf in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
