Ingredients
- 24 each McCain Smiles
- 6 slices American cheese, quartered
- 4 cups prepared tomato soup, warmed
- Grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, for serving, optional
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the Smiles and bake, flipping once, until golden and crispy, about 12 to 16 minutes.
- Top half of the Smiles with a piece of cheese, then cover with remaining Smiles. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
- Serve soup in bowls with garnishes, if using, alongside grilled cheese Smiles.
If Using the Air Fryer to prepare Smiles:
Preheat the air fryer to 300°F. Working in batches, place Smiles in the basket in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy, 7-9 minutes. Top half of the Smiles with a piece of cheese, then cover with remaining Smiles. Return to the air fryer and bake until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds.
