    Cup of Yum
  1. Spread one side of each slice of bread with a little mayonnaise.
  2. Place in air fryer basket mayonnaise side down. Then build sandwich with cheese, meat if you choose and additional items you would like. Top with the second slice of bread basted with the mayonnaise, (mayonnaise side up).
  3. Air fry for 4-5 minutes at 400°F until golden brown.
  4. Once the first side is golden brown, flip and brown the second side 4-5 minutes until second side is browned and cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Air fryer can be preheated for 2-3 minutes which will lessen frying time.
  • Best made fresh.
  • Serve with your favorite soup (tomato is delicious) and chips.
  • Air fryer notes
  • Different air fryers cook with different wattages. Some air fryers have a set temperature control, that can not be changed! My air fryer is the Cuisinart TO-60A. It has a temperature control setting, so for this recipe, I set the temperature at 400°F.
  • Depending on your Air Fryer, the times, in particular, may vary from mine! When you are learning how to use your air fryer, make sure you keep a vigilant eye on your food! The air fryer cooks so much faster than traditional cooking methods, it is easy to let food go too long and burn it!
  • Once you get the knack of your particular air fryer, you will be able to approximately gauge the timing of whatever you are cooking!
