  • 2 slices slices of cheese (options include cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese) Feel free to mix and match cheese options.
  • as needed Butter or cooking spray (for spreading) Butter provides a golden crust; cooking spray is a lighter option.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C).
  • Spread a generous layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

Assembly

  • Place one slice of bread in the air fryer basket, butter-side down.
  • Layer on the cheese, then place the second slice of bread on top with the butter-side up.

Cooking

  • Cook in the air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Monitor the cooking to achieve a golden-brown color.

Serving

  • Carefully remove the sandwich from the air fryer using tongs.
  • Allow to cool for a few moments before slicing in half.
  • Serve with soup, salad, or dipping sauces as desired.

Notes

Experiment with different types of bread and cheese combinations. For added flavor, consider layering in seasonings or vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
