Air-Fryer Grilled
Cheese Sandwiches 🧀
Crispy, golden bread on the outside and perfectly melted cheese inside—without needing a skillet.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 1–2 tbsp softened butter
- 2–3 slices cheddar, American, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese
- Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Place the cheese between the slices with the buttered sides facing outward.
- Put the sandwich in the air-fryer basket. If your air fryer has a strong fan, secure the top slice with a toothpick so it doesn’t move.
- Air fry for 4–5 minutes.
- Carefully flip the sandwich and cook another 2–4 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let it rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve.
Tip: For extra-melty grilled cheese, use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella. Avoid packing in too much cheese, or the bread may brown before the center melts.
