The Key Ingredients You’ll Need

When it comes to this Roast Beef And Cheddar Melt Sandwich, the ingredients truly matter.

  • Roast Beef: I always opt for a high-quality roast beef from my local deli. The better the roast beef, the better the sandwich!
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese: The sharp cheddar adds a tangy bite that complements the richness of the roast beef perfectly. For a milder flavor, you can experiment with medium cheddar as well. Did you know that you could also use these Carolina Bird Dog Sandwiches?
  • Hoagie Rolls: I prefer a soft, slightly chewy hoagie roll that can stand up to the fillings without being too dense.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small bowl

Method
 

Assembling the Sandwiches
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Air Fry
  • Carefully place the assembled sandwiches into the preheated air fryer basket, buttered side up. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket; you may need to cook in batches.
