Here’s a quick, crispy air fryer grilled cheese sandwich—golden outside, melty inside 😋
🧀 Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (1 sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 1–2 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, Swiss, or a combo)
- 1–2 tbsp butter or mayonnaise (softened)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 2–3 minutes.
- Butter the bread
Spread butter (or mayo) on one side of each slice. - Assemble sandwich
Place cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread. - Air fry
- Place sandwich in the basket (butter-side out).
- Air fry for 4 minutes.
- Flip carefully
Flip the sandwich, then cook for 3–4 more minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted. - Cool slightly & serve
Let it rest for 1 minute before cutting.
🔥 Tips for Best Results
- Secure the sandwich with toothpicks if your air fryer fan is strong.
- Mayo instead of butter gives extra crispiness.
- Add-ins: tomato slices, cooked bacon, or a sprinkle of garlic powder.
- If cheese isn’t fully melted, lower temp to 350°F and cook 1–2 more minutes.
