10 Tasty Air Fryer Toastie Ideas

The Bread

I adore thick white bread for toasties. It maintains its structure well and accommodates wetter or heftier fillings. However, it’s certainly not the sole choice. I enjoy seeded bread, but I find it doesn’t hold up as well. Sourdough is excellent, particularly for a veggie delight, and various other types of bread, as long as they are substantial, can be effective.

You might even venture out using wraps, burger buns, or perhaps something fruity like a hot cross bun. Try different combinations!

Different Cheeses

Anything that melts performs well. I typically opt for a mature cheddar, but that’s definitely not the sole choice. Experiment with your preferred cheeses, and don’t hesitate to try new things.

Add Some Pickles

I enjoy incorporating pickles into tuna melts, but they’d also pair wonderfully with a simple cheese, or ham and cheese toastie.

Switch to Mayo

I spread butter on the inside and outside of my bread to prevent sticking, achieving a golden-brown finish and a moist sandwich.

However, you could replace the inside (or just one slice) with mayo, or similar options like spicy mayonnaise, garlic mayo, dijon mustard, or even hot sauce. Add any of your favorite toppings, just remember to butter the exterior of the toastie.
