How to Make Air Fryer Cheese Toast

1. Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Preheating helps the bread start crisping immediately while the cheese melts evenly.

2. Prepare the Toast

Place the bread in the air fryer basket.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top, making sure it reaches close to the edges.

Add your favorite seasoning for extra flavor.

3. Air Fry

Cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 4–5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

There is no need to flip the toast.

4. Serve Immediately

Carefully remove the toast from the basket and let it cool for a minute or two.

Slice it into smaller pieces and enjoy while the cheese is warm and gooey.
