Description
This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese brings together crispy bread and gooey cheese for a simple yet scrumptious meal. Perfect for a quick dinner or comforting snack, it uses just a few ingredients to create a flavor that satisfies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 1 tablespoon softened butter or mayo
- 2–3 slices cheese (sharp cheddar, American, provolone, Swiss, gouda, or a combo)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F for 3–5 minutes.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice, butter-side down, and layer the cheese evenly on top, keeping it slightly away from the edges. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up, and gently press the sandwich together. Insert a toothpick through the center to secure it.
- Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 370°F for 4–5 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the air fryer. Take out the toothpick, slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Using butter will yield a crispier texture than mayo, but both work well.
Try using a combination of cheeses for a richer flavor!
Adjust cooking time based on the type of bread used for best results.
