Ingredients

• Optional:

  • Olive oil spray for extra crispness (not required)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C) and preheat for 2–3 minutes.

Remove any plastic wrapping. Leave the sandwich as-is—no need to separate.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let cool for 1–2 minutes before eating—the filling can be very hot.
