Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 4 slices ham
- 2–4 slices cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss
- 1–2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
- Pinch of black pepper, optional
Instructions
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place 2 slices of bread buttered-side down.
- Add ham and cheese, then top with the remaining bread, buttered-side up.
- Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer tends to blow the bread around, secure it gently with a toothpick.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Cook until the bread is deep golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Let stand for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve.
🔥 Extra-Crispy Tip
For an especially crunchy toastie, lightly press the sandwich before cooking and add a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder to the buttered outside.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
