Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)
- 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of bread to ensure a crisp, golden exterior when cooked.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one piece of bread, spread side down, into the air fryer basket. Layer with 2 slices of cheese, then top with the remaining piece of bread, spread side up.
- Cook the sandwich: Air fry the assembled sandwich at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes. Flip the sandwich carefully and air fry for another 4 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
- Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese from the air fryer and serve immediately to enjoy the creamy melted cheese and crunchy bread.
Notes
- The sandwich crisps best when butter is spread evenly on the bread’s outside surfaces.
- You can substitute mayonnaise for butter to get an extra crispy and flavorful crust.
- Use a mix of cheeses for balanced flavor and gooey texture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check occasionally to avoid burning.
- For a variation, add tomato slices or cooked bacon before closing the sandwich.
