Method

  1. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 2 slices butter side down, top with the cheddar and American cheese, then add the other slices butter side up.

  2. Set the sandwiches in the basket in a single layer. Push a toothpick through each one so the top slice does not blow around.

  3. Air fry at 370°F for 4 to 5 minutes, until the top is golden.

  4. Flip carefully and air fry for 3 to 4 minutes more, until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted. Remove the toothpicks, cut in half and serve.

Tips

  • Air fryers vary: oven-style models and smaller baskets may need 1 to 2 minutes more. Check early the first time.
  • Add a slice of ham or a few tomato slices, or swap in pepper jack for a spicy version.
  • Serve with tomato soup or pickles for dunking and crunch.
