Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices Bread Choose your favorite; sourdough adds tanginess, while whole wheat brings nuttiness.
  • 4 slices Cheese Mix cheeses like sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for extra flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Essential for achieving a golden crispy exterior.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 4 slices Tomato Fresh and juicy, adds flavor and moisture.
  • 2 slices Crispy Bacon For extra richness.
  • Herbs or Spices Experiment with basil, oregano, or garlic powder.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice, placing two buttered-side down.
  3. Layer cheese on the prepared bread, then top with the second slice, buttered-side up.
  4. Place the sandwich in the air fryer and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Check for doneness at 8 minutes; it should be golden-brown and the cheese fully melted.
  6. Let the sandwich cool for a minute, then slice and serve with tomato soup or salad.
