  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

This air fryer grilled cheese recipe gives you perfectly crispy, golden-brown sandwiches with gooey melted cheese inside. Made in just minutes, it’s an easy and delicious meal or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of bread (your choice)
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C).
  2. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in the air fryer basket.
  4. Layer two slices of cheese on top of the bread in the air fryer.
  5. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
  6. Cook in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the air fryer, let cool for a minute, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder on the buttered side before air frying.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese for more variety.
  • Keep an eye on the sandwich during the last couple of minutes to avoid over-browning.
