- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Sandwich:
- Lay out the slices of bread. Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each slice. If you like, spread Dijon mustard on the other side for an extra kick.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place the ham slices and cheese on one slice of bread. Add any additional toppings you like, such as pickles or sliced tomatoes.
- Top and Press:
- Place the second slice of bread on top, creating a sandwich. Press it down gently to secure the ingredients.
- Air Fry:
- Place the assembled sandwich in the air fryer basket. Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, flipping the sandwich halfway through, until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the air-fried ham and cheese sandwich from the air fryer. Allow it to cool for a minute or two before slicing.
- Optional: Slice and Dip:
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve it with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or a creamy aioli.
