Panini sandwiches are usually made with a panini press, but I’ve found that using an air fryer is easier and better. Here’s how to make a turkey and cheese panini sandwich in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of turkey
- 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough, etc)
- mayo
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 F
- Spread mayo on one side of each slice of bread
- Assemble the sandwich as follows
| Bread slice (mayo on outside) |
| Turkey slice |
| Cheese slices |
| Turkey slice |
| Bread slice (mayo on outside) |
- When the air fryer is preheated, set the time to 10 minutes and place the sandwich inside
- After 5 minutes, flip the sandwich
- Increase or decrease the frying time to suit
