Ingredients
Bread
- 4 slices whole grain bread or gluten-free bread
- 4 slices cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a vegan alternative
Hot Dog Alternatives
- 4 hot dog alternatives turkey, chicken, or plant-based
- to taste butter or butter substitute for spreading

Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Start by spreading butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve that golden, crispy exterior.
Assemble the Sandwich
- Place a slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices. Then, add your hot dog alternative on top. Finally, top with another slice of cheese and cover with the remaining bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing out.
Air Fry
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place the assembled sandwiches in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. This ensures even cooking and that the cheese melts perfectly.
Serve
- Once done, remove the sandwiches from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly before slicing in half. This step is crucial to avoid burning your fingers!
