Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread the butter lightly over one side of each bread slice.
- Turn the bread over so the buttered sides face out.
- Layer the ham on one slice, scatter the cheese over it, and add a pinch of black pepper.
- Close with the second slice, buttered side facing up.
- Place the toast in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 190°C / 375°F for 3–4 minutes, then flip carefully.
- Cook another 3 minutes until the outside is crisp and the cheese has collapsed into the middle.
- Rest for 30 seconds, then cut and eat while hot.
Typical Mistakes (and how to avoid them)
- Overloading with cheese — too much will leak and harden instead of melt.
- Skipping the flip — both sides need direct heat for even crunch.
- Cold butter straight from the fridge — it tears the bread and browns unevenly.
