Air Fryer Grilled Cheese: 5 Steps to Perfect Crispiness


  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

A quick and easy way to make a perfectly crispy and gooey grilled cheese sandwich using an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of bread (your choice)
  • 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
  2. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. If using cooking spray, spray one side of each slice generously.
  3. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the air fryer basket.
  4. Layer the cheese on top of the bread.
  5. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
  6. Air fry for 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich halfway through cooking for even browning.
  7. Check for desired crispiness. If necessary, add an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Remove from the air fryer, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to add extras like tomatoes, bacon, or avocado inside the sandwich.
  • For a crispy exterior, ensure the butter is evenly spread on the bread.
