How to make a ham and cheese sandwich in an air fryer
To make this recipe, it is not essential to preheat the air fryer, so we proceed to spread 4 slices of sandwich bread with 20g of butter at room temperature, only on one side, which will be the outside.
Next, assemble each sandwich by placing the following on the unbuttered side of the bread: 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices of cooked ham, and 1 more slice of cheese. Close the sandwich by placing the other slice of bread on top, buttered side out. Place both sandwiches in the air fryer basket.
We place the basket inside the air fryer and manually set it to 180°C for 12 minutes. After the first 8 minutes, we open the air fryer, turn the sandwiches over, and continue cooking for another 4 minutes.
Once the cooking time is up, remove the mixed sandwiches from the air fryer and they're ready to eat. Enjoy!
