Whether you’re 6 or 60, there’s something undeniably magical about a grilled cheese sandwich. But when you make it in the air fryer? Game. Changed. No flipping. No uneven browning. Just perfectly crisp edges and a gooey center, every single time.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For One Perfect Sandwich:
- 2 slices of good-quality sandwich bread (Texas toast, sourdough, brioche, or classic white)
- 1½ tablespoons softened butter (or mayo, see tips below)
- ½ cup shredded or 2–3 slices of melting cheese (mix it up!)
- Classic: American or cheddar
- Fancy: Gruyère, fontina, gouda, mozzarella
Want a flavor upgrade? Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to your butter.
