Preparing a Hack Cheddar Sandwich using an air fryer
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (your choice, but a hearty whole grain or sourdough works well)
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
- Optional additions: thinly sliced ham, turkey, or vegetables
Step 2: Prepare the sandwich Spread one side of each slice of bread with the softened butter. On the other side of one slice, place the cheddar cheese. If you’re using any optional additions, place them on top of the cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.
Step 3: Cook in the air fryer Place the prepared sandwich in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Note: The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on the model of your air fryer.
Step 4: Serve This sandwich is best served hot. You can cut the sandwich in half and serve it as is, or with a side salad or soup.
