Check out this air fryer club sandwich- it puts other sandwiches to shame. Packed with crisp cold lettuce and tomatoes, melty cheese, and warm deli meat between toasted slices of bread.
This is the perfect air fried sandwich (and I should know as I have made a lot of air fried sandwich recipes!) But the combination of warm, cold, toasty, gooey, and crispy all come together to create the most pleasant experience ever.
This club sandwich doesn't take too much time to prepare and can easily be made in minutes. No more going out to restaurants for a taste of this classic sandwich because you can make yours in the convenience of your own home.

Why This Recipe Works
- It's quick to make. From start to finish, from prep to table, this recipe takes only a few minutes. Just a little hands on time and a little patience are all that is required.
- Easy to make. Building this sandwich is very simple and easy. It's as simple as spreading some mayo and assembling the ingredients in the proper order. This can be done by anyone, including those with little kitchen cooking experience.
- The sandwich is perfect. While there's nothing wrong with a classic club sandwich, this air fried version truly improved upon perfection by adding elements you didn't even know that you needed.
🥘 Ingredients
Mayonnaise- This will give the sandwich some moisture so it doesn't feel dry.
Sandwich bread- You can use any sliced sandwich bread you'd prefer. We like to use regular white bread, but you can use whole wheat, low carb, sourdough, etc.
Deli meats- You will want a combination of sliced ham and turkey deli meat for the best flavor.
Lettuce- Adding lettuce will give this sandwich a refreshing crunch.
Sliced cheese- You can use any sliced cheese of your preference. We like Munster cheese and American.
Tomato- You'll need a ripe roma tomato for this sandwich. Adding sliced tomatoes will give the sandwich more freshness and make it feel juicy as well.
Salt and Pepper- To really make the flavors in this sandwich taste more incredible, be sure to use salt and pepper!

🔪 Instructions
Check out how to make an air fryer club sandwich with these simple step-by-step instructions:
Spread mayo on one side of both bread slices.
Lay the bread, mayo side up in the air fryer. If needed, get a small trivet to place on top of the bread so that it doesn't fly around.
Toast at 360F for 3 minutes.
Remove the bread from the air fryer and spread mayo on the other side of the bread (the non-toasted sides).
Lay the cheese on top of one slice of bread.
Lay your meat slices on the other slice of bread.
Toast at 360 degrees F for 2 minutes.
Remove from the air fryer and add your cold lettuce and tomatoes. Top the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the two halves together and enjoy your sandwich.
🍴 Recipe Tips
Secure the bread
Note that your bread can fly around in an air fryer basket during the initial toasting process. This is because of the circulated air forcing it upwards. If this happens the bread will not be very toasted, but you can extend the cooking time for 1-3 minutes to get the bread to your desired level of toastiness.
You can prevent the bread from flying around by securing it with a small metal trivet (like you'd use in an Instant Pot).
Toasting tip
Make sure the bread is darkened to your liking before removing it from the basket because it will not darken anymore.
🥗 Side Dishes
You can serve your sandwich with any of your favorite sandwich side dishes like potato chips, fresh fruits, or cut vegetables. We like to serve this air fryer sandwich with anything that we have on hand. (Usually strawberries and grapes).
💭 FAQs

No, three slices of bread can be a lot of carbs but you can just as easily get a filling and delicious sandwich from a regular 2 bread sliced sandwich.
Yes, you can use chicken (shredded or deli versions), turkey, ham, or a combination of them all. Pick and choose based on what you have on hand or what you'd like to eat. Enjoy!
