Air Fryer Cheese and Salsa French Toast Sandwich

I’ve created this Air Fryer Cheese and Sals French Toast Sandwich to show the versatility of the Optimum HealthyFry Air Fryer.  Too often Air Fryers are only used to make lower fat chips, while they are great at doing that, there is a lot more you can make in an Air Fryer.

The Optimum HealthyFry Air Fryer features hot air circulation (Rapid Air), ingredients are heated evenly from all sides allowing you tsp prepare fried food with no oil, while still maintaining the taste and texture of conventional fried foods.

I found the Optimum HealthyFry really easy to use, you preheat the air fryer by holding the power button for 3 seconds, then press the Start/pause button, once the 3 minutes preheating is up, pull out the drawer and place the food in the basket. Close the drawer then you can either use the preset programs or set the temperature and time just as you would with the oven.

The Optimum HealthyFry Air Fryer is currently on SALE for £129 (Save £70) and as I’m a Froothie Ambassador and during #Jumpstart17  (January and February 2017) you get free delivery in the UK!  Just you use my ambassador link to order your HealthyFry Air Fryer simply type “3116” and “free ambassador delivery” in the comment section of the order.

I don’t know about you, but round about the end of January my motivation to eat healthily tends to waver. I long for something crisp, something fried. Well, this year you can have fried food with the Optimum HealthyFry Air Fryer,  it’s a professional-quality Air Fryer which allows you to fry, roast and grill with no oil, you can even bake in it too!

Optimum Healthy Fry Trial 1

My first trial of the  Optimum HealthyFry Air Fryer was to make some kale chips.  You don’t need much kale to make a bowl of kale chips for snacking or to include in a salad or to garnish a main meal.

My second trial involved some ready-made falafel bought in the supermarket.  I followed the directions on the packet, replicating the temperature and timing on the HealthyFry.  They turned out perfectly, piping hot and I didn’t need to heat up the whole oven just for a few falafels for lunch. You could even heat the wraps in a minute in the HealthyFry.

Finally, I thought I’d try something which I would normally shallow fry, a French Toast Sandwich.  It’s a combination of French Toast and a toasted sandwich all cooked in the Optimum HealthyFy Air Fryer.  I’m pleased to say that it worked really well with crispy eggy toast and a melted cheesy filling, I’d definitely make this again.
