Ingredients
2slicesbread
Slicesleftover turkey slicesor deli meat
1Tablespoonbutter
good melting cheese(American, Swiss, cheddar, Gruyere, etc.)
Layer cheese and turkey slices in between bread. Butter outside of bread with butter. Secure the top slice of bread with toothpicks through the sandwich. Lay sandwich in air fryer basket.
Air Fry at 360°F for about 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Flip the sandwich and increase heat to 380°F to finish and crisp the bread. Air Fry at 380°F for about 5 minutes or until the sandwich is to your preferred texture. Check on the sandwich often to make sure it doesn't burn (different breads will toast quicker or slower than others). Allow to cool a bit before biting into the yummy grilled cheese sandwich!
Notes
NOTE: If your bread is really thin, it will blow off in the air fryer because of the hot circulating air. Use toothpicks to secure the sandwich during air frying. Remember to remove the toothpicks before eating.
