Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

4 slices sandwich bread

4 slices cheese (cheddar, Havarti, American, etc.)

3 tablespoons butter or mayonnaise (room temperature)

Directions

Spread butter or mayo evenly on one side of each bread slice, edge to edge.

Place one slice, buttered side down, in the air fryer basket.

Add 2 slices of cheese stacked.

Top with second bread slice, buttered side up.

Optional: use a toothpick to secure if bread is thin or light.

Preheat to 370 °F (190 °C) (optional).

Cook for 4 minutes, then flip.

Cook another 4 minutes, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Remove carefully, let rest 1 min, then slice and enjoy warm.

Notes

Spread fat to the edges to avoid dry corners.

Reheat in the air fryer at 350 °F to restore crunch.
