Air Fryer Stouffer’s Melt-Fulls Double Cheddar Steak

Why You’ll Love It

Stouffer’s Melt-Fulls Double Cheddar Steak is the ultimate comfort sandwich: a golden flaky crust stuffed with juicy steak and oozing cheddar cheese. In the air fryer, it gets extra crispy on the outside while staying gooey and hot inside. Faster than an oven and tastier than a microwave—this is how melty sandwiches were meant to be cooked.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen Stouffer’s Melt-Fulls Double Cheddar Steak (do not thaw)

• Optional: olive oil spray or melted butter for the crust

• Optional: dipping sauce (ranch, chipotle mayo, or cheese sauce)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat air fryer to 370°F for 3–5 minutes. This helps kickstart even crisping.

Prepare the Melt-Full

• Remove sandwich from packaging (leave out any crisping sleeve—it’s not needed).

• Do not thaw.

• Place the sandwich directly into the air fryer basket or tray.

• Optional: Lightly spray or brush the exterior with olive oil or melted butter for a richer, golden finish.

Air Fry

• Air fry at 370°F for 10–12 minutes.

• Flip halfway through to ensure even browning on both sides.

• If crust is browning too quickly, reduce heat to 360°F for final 2–3 minutes.

Check for Doneness

• Crust should be crispy and deep golden brown.

• Inside should be hot with melted cheese throughout.

• Let cool for 1–2 minutes before biting in—contents will be very hot.

Pro Tips

• Want extra crunch? Place the sandwich on a small rack inside the air fryer to circulate heat better.

• Add your favorite hot sauce or mustard on the side for dipping.

• Don’t overcrowd—cook one Melt-Full at a time for the best results.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with:

  • Air fried waffle fries or sweet potato fries

  • A side salad for a fresh contrast

  • Pickles, jalapeños, or pepperoncini on the side

• Make it a meal:

  • Pair with soup (tomato or broccoli cheddar)

  • Add chips and a fizzy soda for a lunchbox-style treat

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Store any leftover halves in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 360°F for 4–5 minutes

• Oven: 375°F for 10 minutes

• Microwave: 1 minute (but crust will be soft)
