Notes
1. Keep an eye on the air frying time as it may vary a bit depending upon your air fryer model and the type of bread you are using. We don’t want the bread to scorch.
2. Use as much cheese as you like. I use 1 slice of cheese and about 2 tbsp. of melty shredded cheese. I use 2 slices of cheese when making it for my teen.
3. Adjust the fillings as per your liking. Try the suggestions shared in variations and suggestion.
4. Remember to use toothpicks to secure your sandwich. It gets easier to flip and handle and also stays intact.
5. It is important to flip and cook the sandwich so that it gets evenly browned on both sides.
6. This sandwich is best had freshly made. However, if you need to store it, you can in an air tight container. Then air fry for a couple of minutes to heat it through. Don’t cook more or the bread slices may burn.
