Nothing is easier for lunch then a ham and cheese sandwich made in the air fryer. It is quick and it is delicious.

If you have never eaten a ham and cheese sandwich here is some basic information and facts for you.

The ham and cheese sandwich was invited back in 1762 (thank you Wikipedia).  As most sandwiches at that time, they were invented so that people could carry it around and eat. You did not need to stop and have a meal, you could just simply carry it around.

As my kids can tell you in a Trivial Pursuit game, if it comes out, the sandwich was really invited by John Montagu, who was the Earl of Sandwich. I believe he didn’t actually invent them, he just helped popularize them.

What Type Of Ham Should You Use-

When you go into the deli you are bombarded by choices, here are some of my favorites.

• Honey Ham: This is a great ham because it’s naturally sweet, but at the same time a bit slaty too.
• Spiral Ham: This is one of my favorite hams to use after I make a big ham for either, Thanksgiving, Easter, or Christmas. What is better than using leftovers. And the spiral ham usually has a glaze, which adds sweetness.

What Type Of Cheese Should You Use-

Again the ingredients are important, you do not have a lot of ingredients to play with the classic ham and cheese sandwich, so picking out the perfect cheese is essential.

• Cheddar: I love cheddar in the air fryer or in a sandwich because it melts beautifully.
• Swiss: This goes perfectly with the ham, because it turns nutty, as you air fry the sandwich.
• Gruyere: This is another great cheese.
• Jarlsberg: This is my son’s favorite, although you really have to cut it thin for a sandwich, so if you can find it presliced that is a bonus.
