Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 4 pieces sandwich bread
Cheese
- 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)
Spread
- 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of sandwich bread to ensure a crispy and flavorful crust once cooked.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread in the air fryer basket with the buttered side facing down. Layer with two slices of cheese, then top with the second piece of bread, buttered side facing up, creating the sandwich.
- Cook the sandwich: Air fry the sandwich at 370°F (188°C) for 4 minutes. After the initial cooking time, carefully flip the sandwich over and air fry for an additional 4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted to your preference.
- Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese from the air fryer and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter for a slightly tangier flavor and crispier texture.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on your air fryer model and bread thickness.
- Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese such as mozzarella, Swiss, or American for different flavors.
- To add extra fillings, consider tomatoes, bacon, or spinach, but be mindful that excess moisture may affect crispiness.
