What is an air fryer?
Air fryers are small(ish) kitchen appliances that operate like a convection oven—except in a smaller, more concentrated space.
The air is circulated at a high temperature and evenly around the food, which makes the food cook more quickly than in a conventional oven and helps give foods a crispy coating without the need for lots of oil and fat.
🔪 Instructions
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Preheat the air fryer to 180C (350F) and set the timer to 10 minutes.
Two: Lay the bread slices on a board and butter one side of each of the 4 slices.
Three: Turn two of the slices over and spread over the cranberry sauce.
Four: Lay the cooked turkey slices and cooked bacon rashers on top of the cranberry sauce.
Five: Lay over the brie slices.
Six: Top each sandwich with the other slice of bread, making sure the buttered side is on the outside (both outside slices should be buttered).
Seven: Air fry for 6 minutes then flip with tongs and air fry for a further 2-4 minutes.
🍴 Serving suggestions
