We have loved experimenting with our new air fryer. It is so convenient for making quick meals, frying up some of our favorite foods like potatoes without all of the oil and roasting vegetables. This simple grilled cheese is a classic, almost better than making it in a pan.
How to make a Grilled Cheese in an Air Fryer
To make this simple grilled cheese sandwich in the air fryer. Prepare the bread by buttering both of the outside pieces of the bread. Place 2 slices of your favorite cheese in between the pieces of bread.
Place the bread, buttered side down into the basket of an air fryer. Close the basket and set the air fryer to broil. If you do not have the broil option, set your air fryer to high.
Cook the sandwich on one side for 3-4 minutes. After this time, open the basket and carefully flip the sandwich to the other side.
Place the basket back into the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is browned and crisp on both sides and the cheese is melted.
