How to Make Disneyland Grilled Cheese

Prep the bread – Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice.

Assemble the sandwich – Place cheese slices between two slices of bread, buttered sides facing out. Add optional extras like tomato or bacon if desired.

Preheat the air fryer – Set to 370°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.

Air fry the sandwich – Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the air fryer, cut in half if desired, and enjoy warm, gooey, and perfectly crispy grilled cheese.

Homemade Disneyland Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe Tips

• Use quality cheese – Sharp cheddar, American, or a blend melts perfectly and gives rich flavor.
• Butter the bread generously – Ensures a golden, crispy exterior and prevents sticking.
• Cook on medium heat – Slow, steady heat melts the cheese without burning the bread.
• Press lightly with a spatula – Helps the sandwich brown evenly and keeps the cheese inside.
• Add extras carefully – Bacon, tomato, or onions are great, but don’t overload or the cheese may not melt fully.
• Serve immediately – Grilled cheese is best fresh while the bread is crisp and cheese is gooey.

Storing and Reheating

• Storing – Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheating – Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispiness. Avoid the microwave to prevent soggy bread.

FAQs About Disneyland Grilled Cheese Recipes

Can I use different types of bread? Yes! Sourdough, white, or whole wheat all work, but buttered white or sourdough gives the classic Disneyland taste.

Can I add other fillings? Yes! Bacon, tomato, caramelized onions, or even a little ham make delicious variations.

How do I get the cheese extra melty? Cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking to trap heat and melt the cheese evenly.
