Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes for consistent crisping.

Step 2: Prep the Sandwiches

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between each one.

• Cook at 370°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through

• For softer texture: Cook for 6–7 minutes

• For extra crisp: Cook up to 11 minutes

Step 4: Check for Doneness

They should be golden on the outside and heated through, with the filling warm and gooey.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let cool for 2–3 minutes before eating—filling will be hot! Serve as-is or with your favorite dipping sauces.
