When you want a grilled ham and cheese that's crispy on the outside and genuinely melty inside, without standing over a skillet, the air fryer is perfect. The only catch is that air fryers cook with strong airflow, so a sandwich that's too light (or stacked too tall) can shift around. If you're on a quick-lunch kick, you can browse my sandwich recipes for more easy ideas, too.
