Cheese toast sandwiches are a quick, satisfying snack or meal that can be made even more delicious and crisp in the air fryer. These cheesy sandwiches feature gooey melted cheese between two crispy, golden-brown slices of bread, with a simple buttery flavor. You can get creative with the fillings, adding extras like tomatoes, herbs, or even deli meats. The air fryer makes these sandwiches perfectly crisp without the need for excessive oil or butter.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (your choice, like white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix of both)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for extra crispness)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for added flavor)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like basil or parsley, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. If you want extra crispiness, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side of the bread.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place a slice of cheese between two slices of bread, with the buttered sides facing out. Press down gently to ensure the sandwich sticks together.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the Sandwiches: Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket. You can fit two sandwiches at a time, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook at 370°F (190°C) for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check for a golden-brown and crispy texture on both sides. If you want the cheese extra melty, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Once done, remove the sandwiches from the air fryer, slice them in half, and serve hot with a side of ketchup, pickles, or any dipping sauce you love.
