Ingredients

  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter room temperature
  • 2 ounces cheese (see post for best melting cheeses - I used Colby)

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, slather one side of each slice of bread with the room temperature butter.
  • Set one slice of bread, butter side down, in the air fryer. Add the cheese. Top with the other slice of bread, with the butter side up.
  • Set the air fryer to 350 degrees. Fry for 2 minutes. Open the air fryer, flip the sandwich, and fry for an additional 2 to 4 minutes or until the sandwich is crisp and golden brown.
