INGREDIENTS:

• Two tablespoons of melted butter
• Two slices of bread
• Two scallions, thinly sliced (green pieces)
• Three-fourths cup of shredded medium cheddar cheese
• One tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparing the Bacon and Scallion Grilled Cheese:

1. Butter and Assemble:
   1. Begin by spreading half of the melted butter evenly on one side of a bread slice. Place this slice, buttered side down, in the air fryer basket.
   2. On the bread slice in the basket, layer the shredded cheddar cheese and thinly sliced scallions.
   3. Take the second bread slice and gently butter one side before placing it on top of the cheese and scallions, buttered side up.
   4. To add a delightful finishing touch, generously sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top slice of bread.
2. Air Frying: Carefully place the prepared sandwich in the air fryer basket.
3. Setting the Temperature and Time: Manually set the air fryer’s temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Cooking and Flipping: Cook the sandwich for 5 minutes at 350°F, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread to toast. After 5 minutes, carefully flip the sandwich to ensure even cooking.
5. Final Touch: Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese inside the sandwich is completely melted, and the bread reaches your desired level of toasting.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the Bacon and Scallion Grilled Cheese is ready, remove it from the air fryer.

TIPS:

• Use a medium cheddar cheese for a perfect balance of creaminess and flavor.
• Thinly slicing the scallions ensures they blend harmoniously with the other ingredients while adding a subtle oniony crunch.
• Be generous with the parmesan cheese on top; it adds a crispy and savory crust to the sandwich.
• Preheating the air fryer for a couple of minutes before cooking helps ensure even cooking and browning of the bread.
• You can customize this sandwich with additional ingredients like crispy bacon bits or a dollop of creamy avocado spread for extra flavor and texture.
