🧀 Quick and Easy Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwiches 🥪
Craving a golden, gooey grilled cheese without the fuss (and extra butter in the pan)? 🙌 Say hello to your new favorite snack hack: Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwiches! With just a few ingredients and a trusty air fryer, you’ll have melty perfection in minutes—crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside. 🤤
🛒 Ingredients:
- 4 slices of white or your favorite sandwich bread 🍞
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese (or your cheese of choice) 🧀
- 1–2 tablespoons of softened butter or margarine 🧈
Optional: Try a slice of mozzarella or vegan cheese for extra stretch or to keep it dairy-free! 🌱
🔥 Instructions:
- Prep Your Bread
Lay out your bread slices and spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. This will be the outer side that crisps up in the air fryer. ✨ - Assemble the Sandwich
Place one or two slices of cheese between the unbuttered sides of the bread, forming a sandwich with the buttered sides facing outward. - Air Fry It!
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 2 minutes.
Place the sandwiches into the basket (buttered side out). Make sure they’re not overlapping. - Cook
Air fry for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes until both sides are beautifully golden brown and crisp. 😍 - Serve
Slice and serve hot! Pair with tomato soup or enjoy solo for a satisfying snack or light meal. 🍲💛
🌟 Tips for Success:
- Use shredded cheese for extra meltiness.
- Add tomato slices, vegan deli meats, or a sprinkle of garlic powder for a flavor twist.
- Keep an eye on the sandwich during the last minute to avoid over-crisping!
