I know this sounds silly, but it makes all the difference in the world if you use very sharp cheddar and soft bread like challah or brioche. I think that air frying would be an excellent way to make sure that your sandwich doesn’t come out too crispy on the outside while keeping the inside just as melty as ever.

So here’s my recipe for Spanish Manchego Grilled Cheese! It’s perfect for those chilly winter nights when you want something warm and cheesy to enjoy with friends and family.

What Is Manchego Cheese?

Manchego cheese is a complex, Spanish sheep’s milk cheese that has to be aged for seven months before being sold. It has a nutty flavor and tempered saltiness that make it an excellent table cheese or melting cheese. Manchego cheese originated in the region of La Mancha in central Spain, but today you can find this tasty treat all over Europe.

The best thing about manchego is how much variety there is when cooking with the different cheeses – from omelets to pasta dishes! If you are looking for something new to try on your next dinner date, why not give some manchego a shot? You’ll never look back!

How To Make Air Fryer Spanish Manchego Grilled Cheese

Preheat your air fryer for five minutes at 360 degrees F, air fryer setting. While the air fryer is preheating, slice the manchego and place the cheese slices on two slices of bread. The manchego cheese may break or crumble. This is okay, and you need to make sure the entire face of the bread is covered with cheese. 

Top the cheese with another slice of bread, cover the top of the sandwich with melted butter and place it in the air fryer—Cook the sandwich for five minutes at 360 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Flip the sandwich, cover with more butter, and cook for an additional four minutes at 360 degrees.

Pro Tips:

Preheating: Don’t forget to preheat your air fryer, which will cause your bread to get really crispy. Check your owner’s manual for information on how to preheat your air fryer, since every air fryer is slightly different. If you do not have any instructions, set the temperature in the recipe, and heat up for about 2 to 4 minutes.

Timing: The timing of every air fryer is slightly different. So, for best results, check your Air Fryer Spanish Manchego Grilled Cheese frequently as it cooks up.

Crowding: For best results, do not crowd your air fryer basket. Otherwise, the bread will be soggy in the center of the bread. The air fryer needs the air to freely move around the basket to perfectly cook up the food!

How To Store:

If you have any leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, and then wrap them tightly in saran wrap. Placed into the refrigerator, they will last for about 1 to 2 days before getting soggy.

How To Reheat:

This is a great way to make Air Fryer Grilled Cheese ahead of time for the perfect after-school or late-night snack.

Place your leftover grilled cheese into the air fryer basket, and air fry for 2 to 4 minutes, at 330 degrees F, air fryer setting, until warmed through.
