Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich
To enjoy the crispiest and juiciest grilled cheese sandwich, you must try making it in an air fryer. A game changer. This 5 ingredients recipe is the ultimate go-to comfort food.
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread whole wheat, sourdough, white, or gluten free
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Spread out mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread.
- Add butter on top of the mayonnaise, then place the cheese between the two pieces of bread (where there is no mayonnaise or butter) and the smothered pieces facing out.
- Preheat the air fryer (400F or 200 C).
- Spray the basket of the air fryer before placing the sandwich in it.
- Cook for 7-9 minutes flipping the sandwiches halfway through.
- Remove the sandwich from the air fryer once it turns crunchy and golden brown.
- Finally, slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use thick bread to ensure the sandwich stays put.
- You must not skip the part where you spread butter and mayonnaise outside both of the bread slices for a perfectly crispy exterior. If you follow a dairy free diet you can opt for dairy free options.
- You can choose any type of cheese you want, but make sure it melts and has a rich flavor.
- Avoid squeezing the bread when you flip it. The cheese might ooze out as a result.
- Grease the air fryer basket before making the sandwiches.
