Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • If you do not have an air fryer, you can make this just as easily in a medium to large sauté pan on the stove. Cook for the same amount of time over medium heat.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature to get a good spread without ripping the bread.
  • To store: add the cooked sandwich to a covered container and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or on the stovetop in a pan.
