Ingredients
Sandwich Base
- 4 pieces sandwich bread
Cheese Filling
- 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar, 2 Havarti)
Spread
- 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust during air frying.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, spread side down, in the air fryer basket. Top it with two slices of cheese, then place another slice of bread on top with the spread side facing up.
- Air Fry First Side: Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and cook the sandwich for 4 minutes to start melting the cheese and crisping the bread.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook for an additional 4 minutes at 370°F, or until the bread is toasted to your preference and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the air fryer and serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding tomato slices or cooked bacon inside the sandwich before air frying.
- Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter for spreading to create a different crispy texture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check sandwiches early to avoid overcooking.
- Use sturdy sandwich bread to prevent sogginess during air frying.
