Air Fryer Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

I absolutely loved grilled ham and sandwiches growing up. They were so gooey and yummy. Since, as a mom, I am always looking for fast lunches, this is not an exception, and the air fryer makes an amazing air fryer grilled ham and cheese sandwich.

I grew up eating sandwiches for lunch. If you didn’t, you are missing out on one of the most classic lunches around America. The ingredients are simple but are bold.

There are so many ways to make a perfect sandwich with the help of the air fryer. Today, I make a simple ham and cheese.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

• Bread
• Deli Ham
• Cheddar Cheese
• Butter

How To Make Air Fryer Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Start by laying out the bread. I always lay my bread out on a cutting board.

Use the room temperature butter to spread it on all pieces of the bread (only one side). Set the buttered side down in either the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray, and then add your ham (I used 3 pieces, per sandwich)

Then top the ham with a piece of cheese ( I used cheddar here), Then top with the buttered side up. (Note: My bread did not fly around, but if you are worried about that, add a few toothpicks) Set them into the air fryer basket or tray. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F for 7 minutes. (air fryer setting) After 3 minutes, flip your sandwich and continue air frying.

 

Here Are My Top Choices For Ham, In Making the Perfect Air Fryer Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich-

1. Honey Ham is the perfect ham since it is sweet but salty at the same time.
2. Peppered Ham is my son’s favorite because it gives a lot of kick to the sandwich.
3. Spiral Ham is a perfect way to use up leftover ham.

For the Cheese, there are a LOT of options, but here are some of my favorites-

1. Swiss, I love the taste of Swiss and ham, it’s a great combination in my option.,
2. Gouda, my son’s favorite it creates a smoky flavor with the ham.
3. Cheddar, this is a classic.
4. Pepperjack, like the Pepperjack ham it creates a bit of a kick to the sandwich.

Bread Options-

There are a lot of options. I tend to use multi-grain, as I think it’s a bit healthier and air fries well, but there are so many other options, including:

• Croissants
• Pita
• English Muffins
• Sourdough
• White bread
• Artisan
