Notes
- Tip: If the bread (or cheese) is thin or light, it might blow off the sandwich while cooking. To ensure your sandwich stays together, use thicker slices of bread and cheese or lightly butter both sides of the bread. You may also secure it with toothpicks.
- Cooking time: Air fryers can vary, you may need to cook your sandwiches for a minute more or less.
- Variations: Swap out the cheddar for any cheese you have on hand. A pinch of garlic powder can be added to the outside of the bread. Add in your favorites. Bacon, tomato slices, jalapenos, the possibilities are endless.
