Choose Your Bread: Start with your favorite bread, such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough. Opt for thicker slices for a heartier sandwich.
Select Your Cheese: Classic cheddar is always a great choice, but you can mix cheeses like mozzarella, Swiss, or gouda for added flavor.
Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each slice of bread. This helps achieve that golden, crispy crust.
Assemble the Sandwich: Place a generous amount of cheese between the slices of bread. Be sure not to overstuff, as the cheese needs room to melt evenly.
Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip the sandwich over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Check for Perfect Melt: Once the sandwich is crispy and golden, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute before cutting.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to preheat.
Serve Immediately: Serve with tomato soup or a side of pickles for a classic comfort meal.
