Notes

  • Use your favorite cheese or combination of cheeses.
  • Use your favorite bread. Choose bread that doesn't have holes in it or bread that is too crusty.
  • Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer model. All air fryers vary.
  • If cooking in multiple batches, check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
  • A thin layer of butter that covers the entire outside of each slice of bread is important when buttering the bread to ensure the bread toasts evenly.
  • Buttering the insides of each slice of bread is optional, but very tasty.
