Here’s a crispy, golden Air Fryer Grilled Cheese that’s quick and foolproof:
🧀 Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
🛒 Ingredients (1 sandwich)
- 2 slices bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, or your favorite)
- 1–2 tbsp softened butter (or mayo)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 2–3 minutes.
- Butter the bread on one side of each slice.
- Assemble sandwich:
- Place one slice butter-side down.
- Add cheese.
- Top with second slice, butter-side up.
- Air fry for 4–5 minutes, flip carefully, then cook another 3–4 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Let rest 1 minute before slicing (helps cheese set slightly).
🔥 Tips for Extra Goodness
- Use mayo instead of butter for an ultra-crispy crust.
- Add tomato slices, bacon, or a sprinkle of garlic powder.
- If your bread is lightweight, secure with toothpicks (remove before eating).
Crispy outside, melty inside — perfect with tomato soup.
If you’d like, I can give you a gourmet version with 3 cheeses and caramelized onions.
