Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Knife For slitting bologna
  • 1 Plate For assembly and serving

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread
  • 1 slice bologna beef
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 1 slice Cheddar cheese
  • 1 slice tomato
  • 1 leaf lettuce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place 1 bread slice in the air fryer basket and cook in the preheated air fryer for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining bread slice.
  • Remove casing from bologna, then use a knife to make 4 slits to prevent curling. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 3 minutes. Flip bologna over and cook for 3 minutes more.
  • Spread mayonnaise onto 1 bread slice. Layer with cheese, bologna, tomato, and lettuce. Spread mustard onto remaining bread slice and top sandwich.

Notes

For optimal crisping of the bologna, consider cross-hatching the surface instead of just slits; this increases surface area for a more even crunch. If you prefer a melted cheese experience, place the cheese slice directly on the hot bologna immediately after removing it from the air fryer, or even put the assembled sandwich (without lettuce/tomato) back in the air fryer for 30 seconds to gently melt the cheese. Experiment with different types of bread, like a potato roll or sourdough, for added texture and flavor. A touch of black pepper or a thinly sliced pickle could elevate the sandwich further.
