Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to around 360-375°F (180-190°C).
Prepare the Bread:
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of the bread for an extra kick.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
On the buttered side of one slice of bread, place a layer of sliced ham, followed by a layer of sliced cheese.
Optionally, add any additional toppings like pickles or tomatoes.
Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Air Fry:
Place the assembled sandwiches in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway through, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the air fryer.
Allow them to cool for a minute before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy air fryer grilled ham and cheese sandwiches!
