Ingredients

  • 2–4 hot dogs
  • 4–8 slices bread (white or whole wheat)
  • 4–8 slices cheddar cheese or American cheese
  • 2–4 tbsp butter, softened
  • Optional: mustard or ketchup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice.
  3. Place a slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of bread, lay a hot dog on top, and add another slice of cheese.
  4. Close the sandwich with another bread slice, buttered side facing out.
  5. Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  7. Serve hot with mustard or ketchup if desired.

Notes

  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack or add jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Use sourdough, rye, or other bread varieties for a twist.
  • Add caramelized onions or pickles for extra flavor.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to restore crispness.
