Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich

  • 2 slices bread Opt for your favorite variety; sourdough or whole grain adds a delightful twist.
  • 2 slices cheese Cheddar, Havarti, or American work wonderfully; mix and match for unique flavor.
  • butter Spreading on the bread adds richness and helps achieve that crave-worthy golden crust.

Optional Add-Ins

  • sliced tomatoes Fresh slices not only add flavor but also a juicy contrast to the melted cheese.
  • cooked bacon For a savory kick, layer in crispy bacon; it perfectly complements the cheesy goodness.
  • fresh herbs Sprinkle in some basil or oregano for a burst of freshness and aroma.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) to ensure a perfectly crispy exterior. Allow it to warm up for about 5 minutes while you prepare the sandwiches.
  • Spread a generous layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place one slice of buttered bread in the air fryer basket, layer the cheese on top, and then place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
  • Slide the basket into the preheated air fryer. Cook for 4 minutes until the bread is golden brown.
  • After 4 minutes, carefully flip the sandwich using tongs and air fry for an additional 4 minutes.
  • Remove the sandwich from the basket and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

Pair your Air Fryer Grilled Cheese with a side of tomato soup or a fresh salad for a delightful meal.
