The Best Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

My family has been a fan of grilled cheese for quite a few years and I've perfected several different recipes but their favorite has been the simple grilled cheese sandwich filled with molten cheese.

Of course, since I have a new air fryer I've been trying out a lot of different recipes and believe it or not, it's actually healthier and much easier to make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich in your air fryer than by the traditional method of cooking it in a skillet on your stove.


With an air fryer, the bread turns out perfectly toasted and evenly browned with the hot gooey cheese of your choice oozing in the middle when you slice the sandwich. And you will also find that it pairs beautifully with my chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles for an easy and filling meal on cold winter days.

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon butter melted
2 slices bread- either sourdough or texas toast
2 slices sharp cheddar cheese

1. Assemble your sandwich and brush the outsides of the bread with melted butter.
2. Place your sandwich inside the air fryer
3. Air fry at 360 degrees for approx. 2.5 minutes
4. Flip the sandwich over and cook for another 2.5 minutes or until the bread is nicely toasted to your liking. Different breads and air fryers may have different results so it's always best to check your food regularly.

*Gruyère, Swiss, Provolone and American are some good examples of melting cheese that make delicious grilled cheese sandwiches.

* Adding thinly sliced onions, minced garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes to your grilled cheese makes an appealing sandwich for adults.
