  • 3 slices cheddar cheese Can mix with mozzarella or gouda
  • 1 tablespoon butter Or mayonnaise, spread on bread

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by spreading a generous layer of butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer your cheese slices, stacking up to 2-3 slices for optimal gooeyness.
  3. If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Carefully place the sandwich in the air fryer basket and cook for 6–8 minutes, checking for a golden color.
  5. Keep an eye on the sandwich for a beautifully golden-brown crust and melted cheese.
  6. Once rested, slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
