Air Fryer Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich is my new grilled cheese sandwich creation!! If you loved my classical Air Fryer Grilled Cheese, you would absolutely love this one.
Made with all of the traditional meats of an Italian Sub, Provolone, Prosciutto, Genoa salami, and even some hard salami. All wrapped in a warm air-fried sandwich! This is great comfort food.

Set temperature for 400 degrees F for 5 minutes, air fryer setting. Flip and add another 3 minutes.

DOES GRILLED CHEESE STORE WELL
Unfortunately, no. You will find this sandwich is best served fresh and warm. Otherwise, your sandwich will lose the crispy texture you know and love from this sandwich.
I recommend making these when you want to eat them.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GRILLED CHEESE AND A MELT?
Grilled cheese and melts are very similar. The biggest difference is a melt tends to have other ingredients besides bread, mayo, and cheese. Melts tend to have items like tuna, other meats, etc.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH GRILLED CHEESE
- Soup
- Chips
- Salad
- French Fries
- Apples
- Fruit Salad
- Etc
Do something simple or whip up your favorite side dish. Go ahead and make whatever sounds good. We tend to do simply like chips and a pickle, or soup.
TIPS FOR MAKING AN AIR-FRIED GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
- Make sure not to saturate bread with the mayo or toast up the way you want.
- If you are worried about the sandwich coming part, put a toothpick or two in the sandwich to secure it.
- You can use any bread you like, from Texas toast, whole wheat, honey oat, classic white, etc.
- Make sure not to overlap the bread, so you get an even cook.
- Also, use the cooking time as a guide. Depending on the bread thickness, the time can cook fast or slower than in the recipe card.
