Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 slices slices of bread Use sturdy sandwich bread for best results.
2 slices slices of cheese (cheddar or your choice) Cheddar is classic, but you can use any cheese that melts well.
to taste Butter or cooking spray Butter gives the best flavor and color, but cooking spray is a quick alternative.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Butter one side of each slice of bread.

Assembly

Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the air fryer basket.
Layer the cheese on top of the bread.
Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.

Cooking

Cook in the air fryer for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the air fryer, let it cool for a minute, then slice and serve.

Notes

For best results, preheat the air fryer and butter the bread edges well. You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and reheat in the air fryer or skillet.
