Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar, 2 Havarti)
- 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of bread to ensure a crispy, golden texture when cooked.
- 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 another piece of bread, buttered side up.
- First Cooking Phase: Cook the sandwich in the air fryer at 370 degrees F for 4 minutes to start melting the cheese and toasting the bread.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the sandwich carefully and continue cooking at 370 degrees F for another 4 minutes or until the bread is toasted to your preference and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the air fryer and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Butter can be substituted with mayonnaise for a slightly different flavor and crispiness.
- Use different types of cheese according to your preference for varied flavors.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
- For extra crunch, consider spreading a thin layer of butter on the basket before placing the sandwich.
