Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bread (white or brown as per preference)
• 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
• Optional: add-ins like sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or caramelized onions

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (or 390°F).
2. While the air fryer is heating up, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
3. Place half of the grated cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices.
4. Add your optional ingredients, if any, on top of the cheese.
5. Cover with the remaining cheese and top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
6. Once the air fryer is preheated, place the sandwiches in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd it.
7. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
8. Carefully remove the hot sandwiches from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before cutting into halves and serving.

Tips for Making Air Fryer Cheese Toastie:

1. Choice of Cheese: Cheddar is a classic choice, but you can experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella, gouda, or a combination of your favourites.
2. Bread Selection: While white bread is traditional for toasties, feel free to try with whole grain, sourdough, or even gluten-free bread.
3. Avoid Overfilling: Don't add too much cheese or fillings, as it might leak out and cause a mess in your air fryer.
4. Rotate the Sandwiches: If you're making more than one sandwich, rotate them halfway through cooking for even browning.
