Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces sandwich bread
  • 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar and 2 Havarti)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as alternative)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of sandwich bread to ensure golden, crispy toasting in the air fryer.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Place one piece of bread in the air fryer basket, buttered side down. Add two slices of cheese on top, then cover with a second piece of bread, buttered side up.
  3. Cook the sandwich: Set the air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the sandwich for 4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich over and continue cooking for another 4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  4. Serve warm: Remove the grilled cheese sandwich from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot and melty for the best taste.

Notes

  • Using mayonnaise instead of butter can add a different flavor and enhance browning.
  • Flip the sandwich carefully to prevent cheese from spilling out.
  • The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer brand and model.
  • You can substitute or add other cheese types like mozzarella or Swiss for variety.
