Ingredients:

  • 2 slices bread (e.g., sourdough, white, whole wheat, brioche)
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (50g) shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, a blend)

Instructions:

  1. Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, on a clean surface. Top with the shredded cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
  3. Place the assembled sandwich in the air fryer basket. Optional: Secure the top slice of bread with a toothpick to prevent it from flying off.
  4. Air fry at 370°F (185°C) for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. This recipe describes how to make the best grilled cheese in air fryer.
  5. Carefully remove the grilled cheese from the air fryer and slice (optional). Serve immediately.
