Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 1 tablespoon softened butter or mayo
- 2-3 slices cheese (sharp cheddar, american, provolone, swiss, gouda, or a combo)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice butter-side down, add cheese on top, leaving space near the edges. Top with the second slice butter-side up and gently press together. Insert a toothpick in the center to hold it in place.
- Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket, ensuring it's in a single layer. Air fry at 370°F for 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the air fryer, take out the toothpick, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
Monitor the cooking time as it may vary based on the bread thickness.
Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic combination.
