🥪 Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich
An Grilled cheese sandwich made in an Air fryer is crispy on the outside and gooey inside, and it’s quicker and less messy than using a frying pan.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 1–2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1–2 teaspoons butter or mayonnaise
Optional add-ins:
- Tomato slices
- Cooked bacon or ham
- Garlic powder
How to Make It
1. Preheat
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for about 3 minutes.
2. Prepare the bread
Spread butter or mayonnaise on the outside of each bread slice.
3. Assemble the sandwich
Place cheese between the slices with the buttered sides facing outward.
4. Cook
Put the sandwich in the air fryer basket and cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5. Serve
Cook until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Tips
- Use thicker bread so the sandwich stays sturdy.
- If the top slice moves in the air fryer, secure it with a toothpick.
- For extra meltiness, use two different cheeses.
Great With
- Tomato soup
- Pickles
- Potato chips
✅ Quick trick: add a tiny sprinkle of garlic powder and parmesan on the buttered bread before cooking for a garlic-bread style grilled cheese. 🧄🧀
