Here’s how an Air Fryer Grilled Cheese comes together quickly and perfectly every time — crispy on the outside, melty gooey cheese inside, and ready in minutes.
🧀 How Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Comes Together
Ingredients:
- Bread (2 slices)
- Cheese slices (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or your fave)
- Butter or mayo (for spreading on the bread)
Step-by-Step:
- Butter the Bread:
Spread a thin, even layer of butter (or mayo) on one side of each bread slice. This helps get that golden crispy crust. - Assemble the Sandwich:
Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread so the buttered sides are on the outside. - Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat to 370°F (188°C) for about 3 minutes. - Air Fry:
Put the sandwich in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. - Serve:
Remove carefully (it’s hot!) and let cool for a minute before slicing and enjoying.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Grilled Cheese:
- Don’t overload with cheese, or it might leak out.
- Use sturdy bread to hold up well in the air fryer.
- Experiment with different cheeses or add-ins like tomato, bacon, or ham.
