  • 1 Butter knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
  • 4 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 2 tbsp butter (softened)

Notes

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Bread
  1. Place the slices of bread on a cutting board.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Flip two slices over (buttered side down) and place 2 slices of cheese on the unbuttered side of each.
  4. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Sandwiches
  1. Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. If necessary, cook one sandwich at a time.
  2. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
  3. Open the air fryer and carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula.
  4. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
  1. Remove the sandwiches from the air fryer and let them cool for about 2 minutes.
  2. Slice in half and serve with your favorite side, such as tomato soup or a simple salad.
Tips and Variations:
  • Add extras like ham, turkey, or bacon for a heartier sandwich.
