Posted by This UK-style cheese on toast is a quick and tasty snack or light meal. It’s made in the air fryer, which makes it easier than using a grill. The result is crispy toast and perfectly melted cheese every time!
Ingredients
- 2 slices of sandwich bread
- 1 slice of butter
- 80g (about ⅔ cup) grated cheddar cheese
- Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Butter the bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice.
- Start toasting: Place the bread slices butter side down in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 2–3 minutes until the tops feel slightly firm and lightly toasted.
- Add cheese: Take out the toast, top it with grated cheese, and add a few drops of Worcestershire or hot sauce if you like.
- Back in the air fryer: Return the topped bread to the air fryer and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Pre-toast the bread for better texture. It helps make the toast crisp underneath the cheese.
- Press the cheese down slightly so it doesn’t fly off in the air fryer.
- Different air fryers cook differently. If yours has strong airflow or a high rack, the cheese might move around — use the bottom of the basket for best results.
How to Store
This snack is best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, you can store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes until crispy again.
Notes
- You can use white or brown bread — plain sandwich bread works best.
- Use grated cheese from a block for better melting. Pre-shredded cheese might take longer.
- Add a splash of milk to the cheese if you like it a bit creamier (but don’t overdo it or it’ll need longer to cook).
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, but keep an eye on the toast while cooking — melting times vary.
