What Is A Breakfast Grilled Cheese?
They are almost the same if you have ever had a homemade breakfast sandwich. Made in the same way that a regular grilled cheese is made, I added a fried egg on top for a great breakfast!
You can add some breakfast meat, whether sausage or bacon or both. It will be incredibly flavorful and delicious.
Ingredients In Air Fryer Breakfast Grilled Cheese
- Eggs
- Bread
- Provolone Cheese
- Butter
How To Make Air Fryer Breakfast Grilled Cheese
Start by buttering your bread, one side both pieces of bread. Lay the butter side down for both pieces of bread. On one piece of bread, add the cheese slices (I used provolone, but you can use anything you have in your refrigerator)
Set your time for 5 minutes (you don’t have to preheat) at 350 degrees F. (air fryer setting). Depending on the air fryer, and you may not use all of the 5 minutes, as soon as the cheese is melted, stop air frying.
Top the melted cheese with an egg.
BEST Tips for a Perfect Air Fryer Breakfast Grilled Cheese
- There has been a long-term debate on using butter or mayo. A lot of people love mayo. I stuck with a classical butte,r but if you want to use mayo, use mayo.
- You can make the fried eggs in the air fryer, but I made them in a regular skillet today.
- Check your Air Fryer Breakfast Grilled Cheese frequently while it cooks up since all air fryers cook a bit differently.
What Meat Would Be Great In Air Fryer Breakfast Grilled Cheese?
While today I made these without meat, this would be a great sandwich if you wanted to add some meat; some of my suggestions:
- Cooked Bacon
- Canadian Ham
- Turkey Bacon
- Turkey Sausage

Could you please clarify something for me? You say to butter your toast, are you toasting your bread first or should it say butter your bread?
Sorry, I meant bread, thank you. I updated it. I hope you enjoy it! My kids love it, thank you for reading, Laurie
