  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese grated

  • 4 slices rustic bread or country white or whole-wheat sandwich bread

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Let 2 tablespoons unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened. Heat an air fryer to 375ºF.
  2. Grate 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese and 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Toss together in a medium bowl.
  3. Spread butter onto one side of each of the 4 slices of bread. Flip 2 of the slices over and divide the cheese evenly over these slices. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 2 bread slices butter-side up. Press the sandwiches slightly to close.
  4. Place the sandwiches in the air fryer and air fry for 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and air fry until the top is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. If the bottom of the sandwich is still not golden brown, flip the sandwich again and air fry for 1 to 2 minutes more.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match different cheeses or add ingredients like sliced tomatoes or crispy bacon for a twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
