This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese recipe offers a quick and effortless way to enjoy a classic comfort food favorite. Using an air fryer, the sandwich gets perfectly toasted bread filled with melted cheddar and Havarti cheese, delivering a crispy exterior with a gooey, cheesy interior in just minutes.

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 pieces sandwich bread
  • 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of bread to ensure a crispy, golden outer crust when air fried.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Place one piece of bread, buttered side down, into the air fryer basket. Layer 2 slices of cheese on top, then cover with another piece of bread, buttered side up.
  3. Cook the sandwich: Air fry the sandwiches at 370°F for 4 minutes. Then, carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue cooking at 370°F for another 4 minutes or until the bread is toasted to your liking and the cheese is melted.
  4. Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the air fryer and serve immediately to enjoy the gooey cheese and crispy bread at their best.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayonnaise for butter to create an even crispier crust.
  • Feel free to use any cheese combinations you prefer or have on hand.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check for desired toasting and melting.
  • For added flavor, consider adding tomato slices or cooked bacon inside the sandwich before air frying.
