Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread
- 2 juicy hot dogs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even cooking and crispy results.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Layer shredded cheddar cheese and one hot dog between two slices of thick bread to create the sandwich filling.
- Butter and Season: Spread butter evenly on the outside surfaces of the bread slices and season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and help achieve a golden crust.
- Place in Air Fryer: Arrange the sandwiches in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd for even air circulation.
- Cook and Flip: Air fry the sandwiches for 7-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cool and Serve: Let the sandwiches cool slightly after cooking, then slice and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- Use thick bread slices to hold the filling without becoming soggy.
- Butter the bread generously to get a crispier texture and golden color.
- Flip sandwiches halfway to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and bread thickness.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, or a spicy dipping sauce to complement the flavors.
