Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of cheddar and one slice of mozzarella (if using) between two slices of bread, buttered sides facing out.
Repeat to make the second sandwich.
Place sandwiches in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
Air fry for 4–5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Let cool for a minute, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

You can swap the cheese for your favorite variety—provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack all work great.
Don’t overload the air fryer—cook in batches if needed so the sandwiches get evenly crispy.
For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder or add a slice of tomato before cooking.
