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)

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)

Expert tips

- 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!

Notes
- Note 1 You can use your favourite bread for this recipe. Rye and sourdoughs are my favourite!
- Note 2 You can also use your favourite cheese. A bold cheese like cheddar works well!
- Note 3 If you want to use a larger tomato (ie roma tomatoes), cut and use 1-3 slices per piece of toast
- Note 4 Dried oregano, Italian herbs or thyme are all good flavour combinations with the cheese and tomato
- Note 5 The spray oil is optional, however, I find it makes the bread very crispy and firm so I do recommend using it!
