Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 to 3 slices of cheese, or shredded, about 1 1/2 to 2 ounces
  • 4 teaspoons salted butter, or to cover

Instructions

  • Prepare the Air Fryer: Brush the air fryer basket with a little oil or spray with ghee or olive oil. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F (200 C). Preheating is optional and depends on the air fryer.
  • Assemble the Sandwich: Spread butter over one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice, buttered side down, on a cutting board, wax paper, or parchment paper. Top with the cheese of your choice.

  • Air-Fry: When the air fryer is ready, place the cheese-topped slice in the basket, buttered side down, and top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up. Cook for 3 minutes, flip it over, and air fry for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
