Here’s a simple, delicious way to make a grilled sandwich in an air fryer—crispy outside, melty inside, with minimal oil:

🥪 Air Fryer Grilled Sandwich

🧾 Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
• 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• Optional fillings: tomato, cucumber, onion, cooked chicken, or ham
• 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat

• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

2. Assemble the sandwich

• Butter one side of each bread slice lightly (or brush with olive oil)
• Place cheese and fillings between the unbuttered sides of the bread
• Press together gently

3. Air fry

• Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket
• Cook 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy

4. Serve

• Let it rest 1–2 minutes (cheese will set slightly)
• Slice and enjoy with ketchup, chutney, or your favorite dip

💡 Tips

• Don’t overload fillings—too much moisture can make it soggy
• Use thin cheese slices for quick melting
• For extra crunch, sprinkle a little garlic powder or paprika on the buttered side before cooking
