Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (your choice of bread, such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- Butter or margarine, softened
- 2 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., cheddar, American, Swiss)
- Optional add-ins (e.g., sliced tomatoes, ham, cooked bacon)
Instructions:
Prepare the Sandwich:
- Spread one side of each bread slice with softened butter or margarine.
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place one slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of one bread slice.
- Add any optional ingredients, such as sliced tomatoes or cooked bacon (if desired).
- Top with the second slice of cheese.
- Place the second bread slice on top, buttered side facing out.
Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
- Carefully transfer the assembled sandwich to the air fryer basket.
Air Fry the Toastie:
- Air fry the sandwich at 350°F (175°C) for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Keep an eye on the toastie to avoid over-browning.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, remove the cheese toastie from the air fryer.
- Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy your cheesy, crispy air fryer grilled cheese sandwich!
