Air Fryer Grilled Cheese is a quick and easy take on the classic sandwich, delivering crispy, golden bread and gooey melted cheese without a skillet. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (white, wheat, sourdough, or your choice)
  • 2 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)
  • 1 tbsp butter or mayonnaise (for spreading on bread)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Place cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread to form a sandwich, keeping the buttered sides on the outside.
  4. Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket or tray.
  5. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Let the sandwich rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use sliced cheese for best melt and minimal mess.
  • Preheating the air fryer ensures even crispiness.
  • Don’t overfill with cheese to prevent spillage.
