Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the bread
Place the two slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. The butter helps the bread brown and crisp as it bakes.
Step 2: Add the cheese
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered side of the bread. Make sure the cheese covers the surface well, so that every bite is melted.
Step 3: Add the sauce (optional)
If you prefer a more intense flavor, add a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the cheese. Use only a small amount so as not to overpower the cheese’s flavor.
Step 4: Air fry the cheese toast
Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket, cheese-side up. Make sure the slices are evenly spaced and not overlapping.
Cook in the air fryer until the cheese is completely melted, bubbles form, the surface is lightly golden, and the bread is crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer model.
Step 5: Serve
Carefully remove the cheese toast from the air fryer. Let it cool for a minute, then serve warm and enjoy.
