🔪 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
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).
Make sure the bread is darkened to your liking before removing it from the basket because it will not darken anymore.
💭 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!
