Air Fryer Grilled Cheese (Printable Version)

Crispy, golden grilled cheese sandwiches made effortlessly in your air fryer in 8 minutes.

# Everything You’ll Need:

01 - 4 slices sandwich bread

02 - 4 slices cheese (recommend 2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)

03 - 3 tablespoons butter, softened (or mayonnaise as alternative)

01 - Evenly spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.

02 - Place one slice of bread with the spread side down into the air fryer basket.

03 - Layer two slices of cheese evenly over the bread in the basket.

04 - Place the second slice of bread on top with the spread side facing up.

05 - If using thin bread, insert a toothpick through the center to prevent displacement caused by air circulation.

06 - Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 4 minutes without preheating the air fryer, unless your model requires it.

07 - Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for an additional 4 minutes at 370°F (188°C) until both sides are golden brown.

08 - Remove toothpicks if used, let the sandwich rest for one minute to prevent cheese leakage, then slice and serve while warm.

01 - Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook up to two sandwiches at a time for even browning.

02 - Butter or mayonnaise spread to the edges ensures uniform golden crispiness.

03 - Resting the sandwich briefly after cooking prevents melted cheese from spilling during slicing.
