Ingredients

  • 2 slices sandwich bread your choice of white, whole wheat, or sourdough
  • 2 slices cheese Cheddar, Mozzarella, Swiss, or your favorite variety
  • Butter for spreading on bread
  • Cooking spray optional, as an alternative to butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the cheese slices on the unbuttered side of one slice, then top with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.
  • Air Fry the Sandwich: Place the sandwich into the preheated air fryer basket. If you’re making more than one, ensure the sandwiches aren’t stacked. Air fry the sandwich for 2 minutes on the first side. After 2 minutes, flip the sandwich and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Remove the sandwich from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customize the Cheese: You can mix different cheeses for a unique flavor (e.g., Cheddar and Mozzarella).
  • Bread Options: Choose any sturdy bread like sourdough, whole wheat, or white bread for the perfect texture.
  • Don’t Stack: Always ensure the sandwiches aren’t stacked in the air fryer. This ensures the air circulates properly for an even, crispy result.
  • Optional Toppings: Feel free to add extras like tomato slices, bacon, or even avocado for added flavor and richness.
