Directions
-
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C). This is a crucial step that ensures your grilled cheese cooks evenly and reaches that ideal, golden-brown hue.
-
Spread butter or spray cooking oil on one side of each slice of bread. Use enough to cover the whole surface—this helps in crisping up the bread and adds tremendous flavor.
-
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the air fryer basket. Make sure the basket is clean and ready to ensure an even cook.
-
Add cheese slices on top. Layer the cheese evenly, then top it with the second slice of bread, buttered side up. This creates a wonderful sandwich for air frying, trapping all that cheesy goodness inside.
-
Cook in the air fryer for about 4-6 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on it as cooking times can vary slightly based on the air fryer model.
-
Flip halfway through to ensure even browning. This step is vital for achieving that perfectly crisp outer layer on both sides of your sandwich.
-
Remove, let cool slightly, then slice and serve. The sandwich is nice when it rests a moment to set, allowing that cheese to remain perfectly melted and gooey.
