Ingredients
- 40 g Sourdough
- 15 g Cheddar cheese sliced
- 1 tbsp Yellow bell pepper diced
- 1 tbsp Red bell pepper diced
- 20 g Tomato sliced
- 1 tsp Butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Take two slices of sourdough bread and carefully cut a pocket into each slice using a pointed knife. This step might take a bit of practice to perfect.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine diced yellow and red bell peppers with pickled jalapenos, salt, fresh herbs (like basil or oregano), and black pepper.
- Assemble the Toasties: Slide a slice of cheddar cheese into each bread pocket, then add tomato slices and the bell pepper mixture.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly butter the outside of the bread slices. Toast in an air fryer or a skillet until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Notes
- Cut the Pocket Carefully: Ensure you don’t tear the bread while cutting to keep the filling intact.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh tomatoes and bell peppers enhance the flavor and texture.
- Adjust the Butter: Use less butter or a butter substitute to make it even lighter.
- Air Fryer Settings: Adjust the time and temperature based on your air fryer’s performance for perfect crispiness.
