Absolutely! Here’s a fun, engaging article for your recipe: The Best Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
THE BEST Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Crispy, Gooey Perfection in Minutes!
If you think grilled cheese couldn’t possibly get any better — think again. This isn’t just another grilled cheese sandwich. This is THE BEST Air Fryer Grilled Cheese you’ll ever make: golden brown, ridiculously crispy on the outside, and perfectly melted on the inside, all without flipping a single slice in a pan.
Trust us, once you try this method, you may never go back to stovetop again.
Why Use the Air Fryer?
Let’s be real: making grilled cheese in a skillet is classic, but it’s easy to under-toast, over-brown, or create uneven meltiness. The air fryer changes all that. Here’s why it works so well:
- Even crisping on both sides — no flipping required!
- Consistent melty cheese every single time
- Fewer messes — no splattering butter or burned edges
- Hands-off cooking — set it and let it crisp
Ingredients You’ll Need
You don’t need anything fancy — but quality matters here.
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, brioche, or your favorite)
- 1–2 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, Swiss, or mix it up)
- Softened butter or mayonnaise (for spreading)
Optional add-ins:
- Tomato slices
- Bacon
- Jalapeños
- Caramelized onions
- A blend of cheeses (hello, cheddar + mozzarella combo!)
How to Make It
- Assemble the Sandwich: Butter (or mayo) one side of each slice of bread. Place cheese between the unbuttered sides, so the buttered sides face out.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat to 370°F (190°C) for a couple of minutes.
- Air Fry: Place the sandwich in the basket. Air fry for 5–6 minutes total, flipping once halfway through if your air fryer doesn’t cook evenly on both sides. (Many models don’t even need flipping!)
