Crispy golden bread and melty cheese made effortlessly in the air fryer for a comforting, fuss-free meal.
# List of Ingredients:
→ Bread and Cheese
01 -
4 slices sandwich bread, preferably thick-cut
02 -
2 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced
03 -
2 ounces havarti cheese, sliced
→ Spreads
04 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
05 -
or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
→ Optional Securing Tools
06 -
2 toothpicks, if using thin bread
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Evenly coat one side of each bread slice with softened butter or mayonnaise, making sure to reach all edges for complete coverage.
02 -
Place two bread slices, spread-side down, into the air fryer basket. Arrange half the cheddar and half the havarti over each slice, covering thoroughly.
03 -
Top with the remaining bread slices, spread-side up. Insert toothpicks through the center if the bread is thin or lightweight.
04 -
Set the air fryer temperature to 370°F (188°C). Cook sandwiches for 4 minutes on the first side. Preheating is not required unless specified by the manufacturer.
05 -
Carefully flip each sandwich using a spatula. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
06 -
Remove toothpicks if used. Allow sandwiches to rest for 1 minute before slicing to retain melted cheese. Serve immediately.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Spreading butter or mayonnaise to the very edge ensures even crisping and color.
02 -
Do not crowd the air fryer basket; for optimal results, cook a maximum of two sandwiches at a time.
03 -
Check for doneness beginning at the 4-minute mark per side, as air fryer models may vary.
