A quick and delicious Air Fryer Grilled Cheese recipe that makes perfectly toasted sandwiches with melted cheese in just minutes. Using the air fryer ensures a crispy exterior and gooey interior without the need for traditional pan frying or butter-heavy methods.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 4 pieces sandwich bread

Cheese

  • 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar, 2 Havarti)

Spread

  • 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of sandwich bread to ensure a crispy, golden crust during cooking.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Place a piece of bread buttered side down into the air fryer basket. Top it with two slices of cheese, then place another piece of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
  3. Cook first side: Air fry the sandwich at 370°F (188°C) for 4 minutes. This step starts melting the cheese and toasts the bread nicely.
  4. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the sandwich over and continue cooking at 370°F for another 4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the air fryer and serve warm for best taste and gooey texture.

Notes

  • Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter to spread on the bread for a different flavor and crispy texture.
  • Use your favorite type of cheese slices to customize the sandwich flavor.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on air fryer model; adjust accordingly if bread needs more crisping or cheese is not melted enough.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if making multiple sandwiches.
