Air Fryer Tomato Melt is a twist on a classic grilled cheese sandwich but with the added tangy sweetness of juicy tomato slices, gooey cheese, and the perfectly crispy crunch from the air fryer without having to deal with all the greasy cleanup.
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread I used wheat multigrain bread
- 6 slices tomato Approx 2-3 mm thick. I used Campari tomatoes.
- 1 tablespoon Mayo Use mustard or Pesto instead
- 2 Tablespoons Shredded Mozzarella
- 2 slices Provolone cheese Use any cheese of your choice
- ½ teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Seasoning I used Italian seasonin
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes into thin pieces and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, place the slices of bread on a cutting board and spread a thin layer of mayo (you can use mustard or pesto instead), and add a layer of mozzarella cheese on top, followed by another layer of cheese.
I chose a slice of Provolone. After that, add the tomatoes on top of the cheese, sprinkle some basil or Italian seasoning, and place the sandwich into the preheated air fryer.
- Set your air fryer to 375°F and cook the sandwich for about five to six minutes, until the cheese is bubbly, the bread is crispy and the tomatoes are gorgeously caramelized and softened.
You do not need to flip this sandwich halfway through.
If you like your bread toasty, you can spread butter on the outside of the bread before placing it in the air fryer. The result is a delicious and healthy sandwich that is ready in under ten minutes!
Notes
VariationsAir fryer tomato melt is a versatile dish that can be customized to suit your tastes. You can add different types of cheese, vegetables, or meat to the recipe to create a unique flavor.
- Please feel free to switch the bread to a different type. My favorite kind is rye, Sourdough, and wheat. If you’re making the grilled cheese using white bread, I suggest checking on the sandwich a few times during cooking, because white bread has a tendency to brown and burn quicker than its wheat counterpart.
Instead of mayo, you can spread the Pesto or Dijon mustard on top of your bread.
For a low-carb version, you can make a Fathead pizza crust.
