The Best Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Golden, ultra-crispy outside with perfectly melted, gooey cheese inside — no flipping in a skillet!
Yields: 2 sandwiches
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 6–8 minutes
🛒 Ingredients
4 slices sandwich bread (white, sourdough, or Texas toast)
4 slices cheddar cheese (or 1 cup shredded)
2 slices mozzarella or American cheese (optional for extra melt)
2 tablespoons softened butter (or mayonnaise)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat air fryer
Preheat to 370°F (185°C) for 2–3 minutes.
2️⃣ Assemble sandwiches
Spread butter (or mayo) evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place cheese between slices with buttered sides facing outward.
3️⃣ Air fry
Place sandwiches in the basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 370°F (185°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
4️⃣ Cool slightly & serve
Let sit 1–2 minutes before slicing so cheese sets slightly.
