  • Tip: For an extra-cheesy filling and a different flavor, top American cheese slices with a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Try cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend.
  • Air-Fry: When the air fryer is ready, place the cheese-topped slice in the basket, buttered side down, and top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up. Cook for 3 minutes. Flip it over and air fry for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
