Ingredients Used For Making Air Fryer Tuna Melt?
Ingredients used to make air fryer melt include:
- Bread: Get any bread of your choice, especially those with a larger size, so all the tuna can fit.Â
- Mayonnaise or butter: Get mayonnaise or butter, depending on what you prefer. Use butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the bread.
- Cheddar cheese
- Tuna salad
How to Make Air Fryer Tuna Melt
First get your tuna salad made. Then slather one side of your bread with butter or mayonnaise. Place the bread into the air fryer with the mayo side down. This is what browns the bread on the outside.
Place your cheese on the bread and ensure the cheese doesn’t go over the edge of the bread. That is because cheese left hanging on the edge will melt off the sides.
Add half a cup of tuna salad and use a spoon to spread it out to the edge of the bread.
Do the same on the second half of your bread. Shut the air fryer basket and leave it to air fry at 380 F for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
If it’s ready you will see melty and golden brown edges.
