Air Fryer Cheese on Toast

These instructions for Simple Air Fryer Cheese on Toast are indeed as easy as you would imagine. But I’ve included a few of my best tips and tricks to make sure that the toast is perfectly toasty and the cheese is perfectly melty, so do check it out!

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Slice roughly 100g Cheese. Arrange it on 2 Slices Bread to check you have enough to cover each slice.
Put the bread slices into the air fryer basket.
Air-fry for 3 minutes at 200c/390f.
Remove the lightly toasted bread from the air fryer and flip it over onto a board. Spread around 2 tsp Salted Butter onto the toast.
Arrange the sliced cheese over the bread making sure it reaches the edges.
Carefully place back into the air fryer. Sprinkle over around ⅛ Sea Salt Flakes.
Air fry for 5 minutes at 200c/390f until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can just fit two 60g slices of bread in the basket at a time. This gives just enough room to allow air to circulate. But my bread happened to be rectangular so it fitted well. You may need to check the fit depending on what type of bread you’re using.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
