Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
Description
Crispy, golden air fryer grilled cheese made with mayo on the outside and melted cheddar inside, ready in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sturdy bread, Texas toast, sourdough or white
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, or 2 cheddar + 2 American
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice, edge to edge.
- Place 2 slices, mayo side down, on a rack or trivet in the air fryer basket.
- Top each with 2 slices of cheese, then the remaining bread, mayo side up.
- Secure each sandwich with a toothpick in each corner, or set a small rack on top.
- Air fry at 370°F for 4 minutes.
- Flip carefully and air fry 3 to 4 minutes more, until golden on both sides and the cheese is melted.
- Rest 1 minute, remove toothpicks, slice and serve.
Equipment
- Small rack or trivet, or 8 toothpicks
- Perforated parchment, optional
Notes
- Thin bread cooks faster: check at 3 minutes before flipping.
- If the bread browns before the cheese melts, lower to 350°F and add 1 to 2 minutes.
- Butter works in place of mayo at the same time and temperature.
- Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes.
