Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Bread (White, Sourdough, or Texas Toast) | 2 slices |
| Cheese (Cheddar or preferred melting blend) | 2 slices |
| Butter, completely softened (or mayonnaise) | 1 tablespoon |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
-
Butter bread: Spread the softened butter evenly across one side of each bread slice, coating all the way to the edges.
-
Assemble sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter-side down. Layer the cheese slices over top, then cover with the second slice of bread butter-side up. (Optionally secure with a toothpick to keep the top slice in place during air frying).
-
Air fry first side: Carefully place the assembled sandwich into the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Flip and finish: Carefully flip the sandwich over using a spatula and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the bread is deeply golden brown and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
-
Slice and serve: Remove from the air fryer, discard the toothpick if used, cut diagonally, and serve warm immediately.
