air fryer ham and cheese

by

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of bread (your choice: white, wheat, sourdough, etc.)
  • 2-3 slices of ham
  • 1-2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your preferred cheese)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of butter or mayonnaise
  • Optional: mustard, pickles, or any other preferred condiments

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sandwich:
    • Spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This will help the bread get a nice golden, crispy texture in the air fryer.
    • Place a slice of cheese on the non-buttered side of one slice of bread.
    • Add the ham on top of the cheese.
    • If using additional condiments (mustard, pickles, etc.), add them on top of the ham.
    • Place the second slice of cheese on top of the ham (optional, for extra cheesiness).
    • Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
  2. Air Fry the Sandwich:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
    • Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook one sandwich at a time.
    • Air fry the sandwich for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted to your liking.
  3. Serve:
    • Remove the sandwich from the air fryer using a spatula.
    • Let it cool for a minute before cutting it in half.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, melty air fryer ham and cheese sandwich!

Tips:

  • Experiment with different types of bread and cheese to find your favorite combination.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder or herbs on the buttered side of the bread before air frying.
  • If you prefer a less crispy sandwich, reduce the cooking time slightly and keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
