Air Fryer Grilled Ham and Cheese

Oh yes! An air fryer ham and cheese sandwich is quick, crispy, and melty without needing a pan or stovetop. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients (1–2 sandwiches):

• 2 slices of bread (white, wheat, or your favorite)

• 2–3 slices ham

• 1–2 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss)

• 1 tsp butter (softened) or mayo (for spreading on the outside)

Instructions:

1. Assemble the sandwich:

   • Butter one side of each bread slice (or spread mayo).

   • Place ham and cheese between the unbuttered sides so the buttered sides are on the outside.

2. Preheat the air fryer:

   • Set to 370°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes.

3. Cook the sandwich:

   • Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket.

   • Cook 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.

4. Serve:

   • Let cool 1 minute, then slice and enjoy.

✅ Tips:

• Don’t overload the sandwich with fillings, or it might not crisp evenly.

• Add extras like tomato slices, mustard, or pickles for a fun twist.

• For extra crunch, brush a little butter on the top after flipping.

If you want, I can give a “loaded deluxe air fryer version” with ham, cheese, bacon, and even a little jalapeño—super melty and perfect for snack time.
