Ingredients

  • 8 slices whole-grain bread

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup honey mustard

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 apple, cored and thinly sliced

  • 2 cups arugula

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

  2. Arrange bread on a cutting board and brush one side of each slice with oil (about 1/2 tablespoon per slice). Flip the bread oiled-sides down and spread about 1/2 tablespoon honey mustard on each. Layer Monterey Jack, apple, arugula and mozzarella evenly on 4 slices. Top with the remaining 4 slices (oiled-sides up).

  3. Working in batches as necessary, arrange the sandwiches in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Cook, flipping once, until the cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
