Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

2 slices slices of bread (your choice—white, whole grain, sourdough, etc.)
2 slices slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your preference)
1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray For buttering the bread

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
Butter one side of each slice of bread generously.

Cooking

Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in the air fryer basket.
Add cheese on top of the bread, and place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
Air fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Serving

Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Notes

Serve hot with your favorite soup or on its own. You can also cut it into triangles or serve with pickle slices. If you have leftovers, wrap them in foil or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
