Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 4 pieces sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)
Spread
- 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of sandwich bread to ensure a crispy and golden outer layer once cooked.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, into the air fryer basket. Layer 2 slices of cheese on top, then cover with another slice of bread, buttered side up, forming a sandwich.
- Cook First Side: Cook the sandwich in the air fryer at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes to start melting the cheese and toasting the bread.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the sandwich over and continue cooking at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for an additional 4 minutes or until the bread is toasted to your preference and the cheese is melted.
- Serve Warm: Remove the sandwich from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For evenly melted cheese, cut the sandwich in half and return to air fryer for an extra 1-2 minutes if needed.
- Try different cheese combinations like mozzarella and gouda for varied flavors.
- Butter creates a richer flavor and crispiness, while mayonnaise can provide tanginess and an equally crispy crust.
- Use a non-stick spray in the air fryer basket if worried about sticking.
