Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 4 pieces sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)
Spread
- 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of sandwich bread, ensuring full coverage for optimal crispiness.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place a slice of bread, buttered side down, into the air fryer basket. Layer with 2 slices of cheese, then top with another slice of bread, buttered side up, forming a sandwich.
- Cook First Side: Set the air fryer temperature to 370 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the sandwich for 4 minutes to begin toasting and melting the cheese.
- 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 golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the air fryer and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra gooey cheese, use a mix of cheddar and Havarti as suggested or experiment with your favorite melts like mozzarella or Swiss.
- Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter for a different crispy texture and flavor.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model for perfect toasting.
- Ensure to flip sandwiches carefully to avoid cheese spilling out during cooking.
