Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
520kcal
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
Method
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3 minutes, which allows it to reach the proper cooking temperature.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, ensuring complete coverage for even browning.
- Flip one bread slice over and place the cheddar and American cheeses evenly on the unbuttered side, then top with the second bread slice with the buttered side facing outward.
- Lightly spread the mayonnaise on the top outer surface of the sandwich, which will create an exceptionally crispy and golden crust during cooking.
- Carefully place the sandwich in the air fryer basket, mayonnaise-side up, ensuring it lies flat without overlapping other items.
- Air fry for 5-6 minutes, then carefully flip the sandwich using tongs, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the air fryer, let it rest for 1 minute on a cutting board to allow the cheese to set slightly, then slice diagonally and serve immediately.
