Melt 2 Tbsps of butter in a medium size mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of panko bread crumbs and mix to combine. Add in ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese and mix until combined. Spread the topping evenly on top, make sure to cover the noodles or they dry out.
Put the crisping lid down (or on) and set the air crisp (or air fry) setting to 300℉/150℃ and the time to 15 minutes. I always suggest checking on the topping after about 8-10 minutes to see if you need to adjust your temperature.
