      1. Toast the bread in the air fryer on one side for 5 minutes at 200°C until golden brown. (Unless you have a large airfryer, we suggest doing this in two batches.)

      2. Finely grate the cheese and mix with 1 tbsp of plain flour.
      3. Mix the egg yolks in a medium bowl until smooth.
      4. Add the grated cheese, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and black pepper. Mix well.

      5. Take the bread out of the air fryer and turn it over.
      6. Spread thickly with a layer of Tiptree Red Onion Chutney.
      7. Spoon the rarebit mixture over each slice of bread in an even layer.
      8. Return to the air fryer drawer and bake for 8 minutes at 170 °C until bubbling and golden brown.
