This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese recipe offers a quick and delicious way to prepare a classic comfort food using an air fryer for perfectly toasted bread and gooey melted cheese. Ready in just 13 minutes, it cooks two servings with a crispy exterior and melty inside without the need for a skillet or extra oil.

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 pieces sandwich bread
  • 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar slices and 2 Havarti slices)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of bread to ensure a crispy, golden exterior when cooked in the air fryer.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Place a piece of bread, buttered side down, into the air fryer basket. Top it with 2 slices of cheese, then cover with another piece of bread, buttered side up.
  3. Cook the sandwiches: Air fry the sandwich at 370°F for 4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 minutes at the same temperature until the bread is toasted to your desired level and the cheese is melted.
  4. Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheeses from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best melty and crispy texture.

Notes

  • Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter to spread on bread for a different flavor and crispiness.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese choice according to your preference for different flavors and meltiness.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the model and size of your air fryer; keep an eye on the grilling progress to avoid burning.
  • To make more sandwiches, increase the quantities proportionally and cook in batches.
