Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2–3 tablespoons softened butter or mayonnaise
- 4 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or your favorite melting cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (185°C) for 3–4 minutes.
- Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place two slices of bread buttered-side down on a clean surface.
- Layer two slices of cheese on each piece, then top with the remaining bread slices (buttered-side up).
- Place sandwiches in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove carefully, cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Preheating the air fryer helps achieve an evenly crispy crust.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket — cook in batches if needed.
- Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavor and creaminess.
- For an extra golden finish, brush the bread with melted butter before air frying.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melty cheese pull.
