Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 2 Panini Rolls cut in half lengthways
  • 2 tablespoon Cranberry Sauce
  • 100 g Brie sliced

    2 tablespoon Cranberry Sauce, 2 Panini Rolls
  • Top with the sliced brie, ham slices, and tomato.
    100 g Brie, 6 Slices of Honey Roast Ham, 1 Tomato
  • Spread the remaining cranberry sauce on the other cut slice of each panini roll, then fold over onto the filling and press down firmly (use your hands or a heavy pan). You almost need to squash it!
  • Place the paninis in the air fryer basket and air fry for 5-7 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted
  • Allow to cool for a minute before removing from the air fryer and serving immediately!

Notes

Top Tips:
  • Just like a traditional oven, pre-heating your air fryer ensures consistent cooking and a perfectly toasted panini.
  • Line the air fryer basket with foil or baking parchment paper if you want an easy clean-up! I don't usually bother though.
  • While it's tempting to load up on fillings, an overstuffed panini might not cook evenly, or the contents might leak out into the air fryer basket.
  • Consider using a heat-resistant object or a small oven-safe dish to place on top of the panini, ensuring a uniform press.
  • Before removing the panini, ensure that the cheese has melted to your liking. If not, give it an extra minute or two.
  • After cooking, let your panini sit for a minute. This allows the cheese to set slightly and makes slicing easier.
