Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich

The air fryer might seem an unlikely appliance choice for grilled cheese sandwiches, but it works beautifully! Within about 6 minutes, you’ll have perfectly browned grilled cheese sandwiches oozing with melty cheese. Depending on the size of your bread, you can probably do from 2 to 4 sandwiches at a time. I used a combination of sliced American cheese and some shredded mild cheddar, and the sandwich was excellent.

Recipe Variations

• Cheese: Use your favorite cheeses. Try Fontina, Gruyère, mild cheddar, sliced American, muenster, or a combo.
• Spreads: I used butter, but mayonnaise is an excellent choice, use a garlic butter spread.
• Bacon or Ham: Add a few slices of bacon or a slice of ham to each sandwich for smoky flavor.
• Kimchi: Add about 1/4 cup of drained kimchi to the filling.
• Caramelized Onions: Top grated Gruyère cheese filling with caramelized onions for a French onion grilled cheese sandwich.
• Olive Salad: Spread olive salad on the bread before you add the cheese.
