Ingredients

Method

5 mins prep8 mins cook13 mins total
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 2–3 minutes.

  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Put the cheese and tomato on the unbuttered side of one slice, season with pepper, then add the mustard or chutney if using.

  3. Top with the second slice, buttered side facing out, and place in the basket. Air fry at 180°C for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and the cheese has melted.

  4. Rest for a minute, then cut in half and serve while hot.

Notes

Use thin tomato slices and pat them dry to avoid a soggy toastie.

Check the toastie after turning because air-fryer browning speeds vary.

About this recipe

This quick toastie turns simple bread, ripe tomato and plenty of cheese into a crisp, hot lunch with very little effort.

Pat the tomato dry before assembling so the bread stays crunchy, then add mustard, chutney or herbs if you want a sharper finish.
