Ingredients
2 slices bread
2 slices cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter or mayonnaise
Instructions
1. Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.

3. Close the sandwich, keeping the buttered sides facing outward.
4. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if needed.
5. Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket.
6. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through if needed.

Use room-temperature cheese for faster melting.
Avoid overstuffing to prevent cheese from leaking.
Weigh the sandwich down if it starts to puff up.
Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for best texture.
