Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Cheese

🧾 Ingredients

• 2 slices of  bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite type)
• 1–2 slices of cheddar  cheese (or any melting  cheese like mozzarella, gouda, or American)
• 1–2 tablespoons butter (softened, for spreading)

🍽️ Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. This helps the bread start crisping up immediately.

🔹 Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

• Butter one side of each slice of bread generously.
• Place cheese slices between the non-buttered sides, so the buttered sides face out.

🔹 Step 3: Air Fry

• Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket carefully. Use toothpicks if you’re worried about the top slice lifting.
• Cook at 370°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Tip: For extra melty cheese, open the air fryer after 3 minutes and gently press the sandwich with a spatula.

🔹 Step 4: Slice and Serve

Remove from the basket, let it cool slightly, and cut diagonally for that classic grilled cheese look.

🧀 Variations

• • Three-Cheese Grilled Cheese: Mix cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack.
  • Tomato Basil: Add thin tomato slices and a few basil leaves inside.
  • Garlic Parmesan Crust: Mix minced garlic and Parmesan into the butter before spreading it on the bread.
