    What You’ll Need To Make This Air Fryer Toasted Sandwich Recipe

    Ingredients needed to make an air fryer toasted sandwich.

    Texas toast: You'll need 8 slices of garlic Texas toast for this recipe. You can usually find this type of bread in the frozen section of your grocery store. If you can't find, or don't want to use Texas toast, you can substitute a regular thick-sliced bread.

    Cheese: I like to use a combination of cheddar, provolone, and havarti cheese for this recipe, but you can really use any type of cheese you like as long as it melts

    Mayonnaise: You'll need a few tablespoons of mayonnaise to spread on the bread. I like to use vegan mayonnaise, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

    Dijon mustard: You'll need two teaspoons of Dijon mustard for this recipe. If you don't have Dijon, you can substitute regular yellow mustard.

    Toothpicks: You'll need some toothpicks to hold the sandwiches together while they cook. This is important for air fryer toasted sandwiches as the circulating air in the air fryer can cause the sandwiches to fall apart if they're not secured.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Now that you have all your ingredients, it's time to start making your air fryer toasted sandwiches! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you make the perfect sandwich:

    Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Step 2: Combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl and slice your cheese in half to fit the Texas toast.

    Step 3: Spread each slice of toast with the mayonnaise mixture, then top four of the slices with cheese. Layer the three different types of cheese on top of each other, with the provolone in the middle.

    Step 4: Top each sandwich with a second slice of Texas toast then use a toothpick or two to secure each sandwich.

    Step 6: Once the top of the sandwiches are golden and the cheese has started to melt, remove the toothpicks and flip the sandwiches over. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the Texas toast is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    Recipe Tips And Tricks

    Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect air fryer toasted sandwich:

    • Make sure that you choose a cheese that melts well. Some cheeses, like feta or goat cheese, don't melt well so they're not ideal for this recipe.
    • If you want to add some extra flavor to your sandwiches, you can try adding a few drops of hot sauce to the mayonnaise mixture or sprinkling some shredded Parmesan cheese on top of the sandwiches before cooking.
    • If you're short on time, you can make these sandwiches ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook them.

    Serving Suggestions And Substitutions

    Here are a few ideas for serving your air fryer toasted sandwiches:

    • Serve with a side of soup for a complete meal.
    • Try serving them with a side of air fryer french fries or tater tots.
    • Serve with a salad for a lighter meal.

    Here are some substitution ideas for this recipe:

    • You can use any type of bread you like in this recipe, not just Texas toast. If you're not using Texas toast, I recommend spreading a thin layer of butter onto your bread before air frying. This will help the sandwich get extra crunchy and golden.
    • Try using different types of cheese or even adding some shredded chicken or ham to the sandwiches for a different twist.
    • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use regular yellow mustard.
    • If you don't have mayonnaise you can simply omit it.

    How To Store Leftovers

    These air fryer toasted sandwiches are definitely best when served fresh. However, any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes until warmed through.

    You can also freeze these sandwiches for up to three months. Simply place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

    Tools And Equipment For This Recipe

    GoWISE USA 7-Quart Electric Air Fryer With Dehydrator: This is a great budget-friendly air fryer. It’s large enough to cook several toasted sandwiches at once.

    Fish Spatula: You'll need a spatula to flip your toasted sandwiches over while they're cooking. This fish spatula is my favorite because it's thin and flexible, which makes flipping delicate foods like sandwiches a breeze.

    Toothpicks: You’ll need a few toothpicks to secure each sandwich. I recommend using bamboo cocktail toothpicks because they’re strong and won’t break.
