Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Delight (Ready-to-Print Version)
Crispy, melty cheese sandwiches made effortlessly in the air fryer—perfect comfort for busy days.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Sandwich
01 -
4 slices sandwich bread, preferably thick-cut
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, or mayonnaise
03 -
4 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced
04 -
4 ounces Havarti cheese, sliced
→ Assembly Tools
05 -
2 toothpicks, if using thin bread
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Spread softened butter or mayonnaise evenly over one side of each bread slice, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
02 -
Arrange 2 bread slices, spread-side down, in the air fryer basket. Layer cheddar and Havarti cheese on each slice, then top with the remaining bread slices, spread-side up.
03 -
If using thin bread, insert a toothpick through the center of each sandwich to prevent the top slice from shifting during cooking.
04 -
Set air fryer to 370°F. Cook sandwiches for 4 minutes without preheating unless required by manufacturer instructions.
05 -
Using a spatula, carefully flip each sandwich. Cook for another 4 minutes until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted.
06 -
Remove toothpicks if used. Let sandwiches rest for 1 minute before slicing, allowing cheese to settle and preventing spillage.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Spreading butter or mayonnaise evenly to the edges ensures uniform crispiness and prevents burnt or pale spots.
02 -
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook no more than two sandwiches at a time for optimal airflow and even browning.
03 -
Different air fryer models may vary; begin checking color and doneness after 4 minutes on each side.
04 -
If storing leftovers, wrap sandwiches in foil or place in an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
