Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices thick-cut bread (sourdough, country white, or sturdy sandwich loaf)
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 2 slices American, cheddar, or your favorite melting cheese

Method
 

  1. Spread the butter evenly over one side of each bread slice, all the way to the edges.
  2. Lay the cheese slices on the unbuttered side of one bread slice and top with the other slice, buttered side out.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the sandwich in the basket and cook 3 minutes, flip, then cook another 2 to 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp.
  4. Let the sandwich rest 30 seconds on a board, then slice on the diagonal and serve immediately.

Notes

If the top slice of bread wants to lift, secure it with a toothpick before air frying, just remember to pull it out before eating. Serve right away for the pull-apart cheese moment.
