Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices white bread
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter or margarine
  • Optional: Pinch of garlic powder
  • Optional: Pinch of smoked paprika
  • Optional: Fresh chives, chopped

Method
 

  1. Spread one side of both slices of bread evenly with the butter or margarine.
  2. Place the two cheese slices on the un-buttered side of one bread slice. Sprinkle with optional garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  3. Top with the second bread slice, buttered-side facing out, to form a sandwich.
  4. Place the sandwich in the center of the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the sandwich and air fry for another 3 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives if desired. Enjoy that epic cheese pull!

Notes

- Use good quality sandwich bread that holds up well to air frying.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook one sandwich at a time for best results.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and bread thickness.
