Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (your choice)
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for toasting the bread evenly.
- Prepare Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly with softened butter to achieve a crispy, golden exterior when cooked.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the air fryer basket. Layer the two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the bread.
- Add Top Slice: Place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing up, completing your sandwich assembly.
- Air Fry: Cook the sandwich in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. This ensures both sides brown evenly and the cheese melts perfectly.
- Serve: Carefully remove the sandwich from the air fryer, slice if desired, and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of bread for variation, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free if needed.
- For extra flavor, add tomato slices, bacon, or herbs inside the sandwich before air frying.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and bread thickness to avoid burning.
- Butter should be softened to spread easily and cover the bread evenly.
