🛒 Ingredients

• 4 slices sandwich bread
• 4 slices cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• 1 tbsp softened butter
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
• Pinch of black pepper
• Optional: sliced tomato, jalapeños, cooked turkey, or crispy bacon

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the spread: Mix the softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
2. Build the sandwiches: Spread the mixture lightly on one side of each bread slice. Place cheese between two slices, keeping the buttered sides facing outward.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 2–3 minutes.
4. Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
5. Air fry for 4–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
6. Let them rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve hot.

💡 Pro Tips

• Use two types of cheese for extra flavor—cheddar + mozzarella is delicious.
• Don’t overload the sandwich or the cheese may spill out.
• For extra crunch, lightly butter the outside of the bread.
• Add jalapeños and a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy version.
• Air fryer temperatures can vary, so start checking around the 4-minute mark.

❓ Q&A

Q: Can I use mozzarella instead of cheddar?
A: Absolutely! Mozzarella gives you an extra-stretchy, gooey center.

Q: Can I make it without mayonnaise?
A: Yes. Simply use softened butter or a little olive oil instead.

Q: Can I add meat?
A: Yes! Cooked turkey, chicken, ham, or crispy bacon all work beautifully.

Q: Why is my cheese not melting?
A: Try lowering the bread thickness or using shredded cheese, which melts faster.
