Air Fryer Pepperoni Grilled Cheese

Yummy! Air Fryer Pepperoni Grilled Cheese.

Everyone’s favorite is grilled cheese, and my kids loved Air Fryer Pepperoni Grilled Cheese. I loved that it was so easy to make, with the help of the air fryer.

My kids are HUGE fans of grilled cheese, so today, I elevated it a bit and came up with a Pepperoni Grilled Cheese, which was perfectly grilled in the air fryer.

They thought it tasted like Pepperoni Pizza, which is fantastic since it is easier to make.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Pepperoni Grilled Cheese

  • 6 pieces of bread, any type
  • 6 pieces of sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 1 package of pepperoni, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

How To Make Air Fryer Pepperoni Grilled Cheese

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, parsley, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Spread the butter mixture on one side of the bread.
  3. Place the butter side down in the air fryer basket.
  4. Then add one slice of mozzarella cheese, and then add about 10-12 pepperoni slices on top, and then place another slice of cheese on top, followed by another slice of buttered bread (butter side up)
  5. Repeat until the basket is full– but not crowded.
  6. Set the temperature to 360 degrees F for 8 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway.
  7. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Some Common Questions Asked About This Recipe,

What is The Best Cheese To Use For Air Fryer Grilled Cheese?

You can say almost anything for cheese today. In this recipe, we used sliced mozzarella cheese to replicate the taste of pizza. But some of my favorite cheeses to use in grilled cheese sandwiches are:

  • Provolone
  • Muenster
  • Colby
  • Monterey Jack
  • Blue Cheese

What is The Best Bread To Use For Air Fryer Grilled Cheese?

I like to use hearty bread. My favorites are potato bread, multigrain, Foccacia, ciabatta, rye, or sourdough bread.

Is Mayo Or Butter Better For Grilled Cheese?

This has been a long-debated topic. One of my sons loves mayo while the other can not stand it. Mayonnaise has a higher smoke point than butter, so it commonly uses air fryer grilled cheeses.

Butter, I find it brings a richer flavor to the grilled cheese and reminds me of my childhood grilled cheeses.

Both are good. Choose your favorite.
