Grilled Cheese Sandwich made in an air fryer comes out crispy on the outside and perfectly melted inside. It’s quick and requires very little oil. 🧀🍞🔥
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 1–2 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or American)
- 1–2 tbsp butter or mayonnaise
Instructions 👩🍳
- Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 2–3 minutes.
- Prepare the bread
- Spread butter or mayonnaise on the outside of both bread slices.
- Assemble
- Place cheese between the bread slices (buttered sides facing outward).
- Air fry
- Place sandwich in the air fryer basket.
- Cook 4–5 minutes, then flip.
- Cook another 3–4 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
✅ Optional add-ins
- Tomato slices 🍅
- Cooked chicken or ham
- Caramelized onions
- Avocado
💡 Tips
- Use thick bread so the sandwich stays crispy.
- Add two types of cheese for better flavor (like cheddar + mozzarella).
- If bread is light, place a toothpick in the sandwich so it doesn’t fly around in the air fryer.
