Cost: Recipe $2.47 / Serving $1.24
Equipment
- Air Fryer 6qt or 8qt
Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread ($0.24)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened ($0.25)
- 4 slices cheese ($0.76)
- 6 pieces deli ham ($1.22)
Instructions
- Prep. Lay out 2 slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each.
- Build base. Place the bread into the air fryer basket, butter side down, without overlapping.
- Add fillings. Place 1 slice of cheese on each piece of bread, followed by 3 slices of ham per sandwich. Top the ham with the remaining cheese slices.
- Top sandwiches. Butter one side of the remaining bread slices and place them on top of the cheese, butter side facing up.
- Air fry. Cook at 360 degrees F for 8 minutes, flipping the sandwiches after 4 minutes.
- Serve. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- Air fryer size. Two sandwiches fit comfortably in an 8-quart air fryer.
- Cheese options. Cheddar, Swiss, provolone, or Muenster all work well.
- Butter swap. Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter for a different flavor.
- Cooking tip. Check halfway through cooking, as the top slice of bread may shift. Make sure the top bread reaches your desired color before flipping.
