Why you will love this recipe

This recipe is SO easy and you barely need to lift a finger to pull it together.

It also tastes SO good and uses simple ingredients you likely already have at home.

Ingredients needed

The ingredients you need are shown in the photo below, they are all simple and easy to find at the local shops.

As you can see, we have:

• bread (you can use your favourite)
• cheese (I use regular or light grated cheese)
• cherry tomatoes (you can also use regular or roma tomatoes)
• dried oregano (you can also use Italian herbs)
• spray oil

If you prefer to use butter you can do that, or if you prefer to use no oil or butter, that will also work!

How do you make Cheese on Toast better

There are some quick and easy ways to take your standard cheese on toast to the next level.

Here are some ideas:

• add tomato
• add dried herbs
• serve with balsamic glaze
• add fresh herbs (eg basil)
• use balsamic vinegar as a dipping sauce
• add Rocket and Cashew Pesto
• or Basil and Cashew Pesto
• add some leftover roast chicken

Or you can add dried onion like in our Cheese and Onion Toastie (an all time favourite grilled cheese!)

How to make the recipe

Here are the step by step instructions to make the recipe.

We take simple steps to bring this dish together, starting with preparing the bread.

• Place bread in Air Fryer and spray with oil (Photo 1)
• Add cheese on top (Photo 2)
• Add chopped cherry tomatoes (Photo 3)
• Then sprinkle with dried oregano (Photo 4)

I find it easiest to add the bread and then 'make' the cheese on toast in the Air Fryer as the ingredients all stay on top.

Expert tips

This is what I have learnt that will help you master the recipe from the 1st time and every following time:

• Try and not overload the toast with cheese as it will ooze over and be messy!
• You can pull the basket out by the handle to check the toast to see how it is cooking
• There are so many sizes and types of Air Fryers that some will cook faster or slower depending on the model, the 1st time you make the recipe, check it after 2 mins to see how it is cooking!
