Air fryer cheese ON toast.....anyone mastered it.

[richardfm]

Mundane experimental data is in:
Ingredients
One slice of medium bread (Kingsmill 50:50)
Layer of spreadable butter (Lurpak or Sains/Lidl equivalent)
Grated cheddar (medium strength), lightly pressed into the butter to reduce 'blow away'
No Worcester sauce on this occasion
No toms or herbs either
Method
Into a cold Ninja airfryer
4 mins on the 'Bake' programme (which has a low fan speed) at 200C
Apply light sprinkling of f.g. pepper and eat.

Result: bread was rather colourless but had the 'crunch' of toast; wasn't at all floppy/soggy.
Cheese had melted and had a lightly-grilled 'crust'; could have done with a mature cheddar
No cheese escaped inside the air fryer.
3/5 - needed more cheese, and additional flavours/ingredients, eg to resemble a mini-pizza

I would start the bread on Air Crisp to get it some colour, then add the cheese and switch to Bake to melt the cheese then go back to Air Crisp to brown the cheese.

For my idea of cheese on toast that slice has approximately 31.2% of the cheese required! If it's not dripping off the sides you need more!

Sure, it was more a bored demonstration of ease and timings than of anything else. I'm not a regular eater of cheese on toast! Especially not if the cheddar has been browned

Pannini are much nicer, or just make an "easy pizza" with a pitta as the base - it's a good way to use up old spag bol, just add toppings, herbs and mozz.

Slice of bread your choice , mayo spread over top , grated or sliced cheese chuck in air fryer till done . I use the 200c setting for 4-6 mins

Not so much cheese on toast but...

Thick cut bread, tomato puree, cheese, some tomato, peppers and red onion really simple and tasty...I might butter the underside next time to see it'll crisp it

Looks good.
I must give it another try. As I originally posted, I put it in but when I checked it the fan had blown all the cheese off.
I wonder if the tomato pure held the cheese in place ?

The approach I use is :-
Make pale toast
Apply Laughing Cow or Dairylea - one triangle per slice
Grate cheese liberally on top. Press down.
Airfry on Maximum Destruction for about three minutes or until optimum meltiness is achieved.
This is for a Tefal East Fry and Grill.

Do you have any other manufacturers for these parameters

Our built in oven has a dodgy door seal so we purchased a Sage combined Air Fryer / Fan oven. It's microwave sized and does up to six slices of toast and perfect cheese on toast and very good Pizza. Highly recommended.

Sadly not. I didn't feel the need to buy multiple airfryers for experimental reasons

This is a slapheaded biased test that no right cheese eater would take for advice...

This is you ....😁
