Here’s a simple but perfect Air Fryer Grilled Cheese recipe — golden, crispy outside and melty inside! 🧀🍞
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
4 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, provolone, or your favorite melty cheese)
2 tbsp softened butter (or mayo for extra crispiness)
Optional add-ins: tomato slices, cooked bacon, ham, or caramelized onions
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and let it heat for 2–3 minutes.
Prepare the Sandwiches
Spread butter (or mayo) on one side of each bread slice.
Place cheese between 2 slices of bread, with the buttered sides facing out.
Repeat for the second sandwich.
Air Fry
Place sandwiches in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Let cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing (the cheese will be super hot).
Cut in half and enjoy with tomato soup, salad, or fries.
Tips for the
Perfect
Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
Extra gooey: Use 2 types of cheese (like cheddar + mozzarella).
Crispier bread: Use mayo instead of butter on the outside.
Thicker sandwich: Add fillings (ham, turkey, or veggies), but lower the temp slightly (to 360°F) so the bread doesn’t brown before the cheese melts.
