Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or any cheese that melts well)
- 2 tablespoons of softened butter
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and lay them out on the counter to have everything ready and accessible for assembly.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and allow it to preheat for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
- Assemble Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices buttered side down on a clean surface, layer each with cheese slices, then cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Cook Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwiches gently into the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, checking around 8 minutes to ensure the bread is golden and the cheese is melted to your liking.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the air fryer carefully. Let them cool for a minute to set, then slice and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can use any type of bread and cheese according to your preference, but thicker bread slices and cheeses that melt well work best.
- For extra flavor, consider adding tomato slices, ham, or herbs inside the sandwich before cooking.
- Make sure the butter is softened for even spreading and crispier results.
- Check the sandwich halfway through cooking to prevent over-browning.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the air fryer model and sandwich thickness.
