    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    ✔️ Fans of air fryer recipes will love this simple method for the best grilled cheese sandwiches.

    ✔️ This is a great recipe for a simple sandwich that even kids can make on their own.

    ✔️ It is the classic sandwich taken to a whole new level of melty goodness!

    Cheddar and provolone cheese on to of one slice of bread.

    🥘 Ingredients

    As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Sturdy white bread, I love to use a good firm sourdough bread but a french bread will work well also.

    Cheese slices, I used a combination of sharp cheddar and provolone cheese. I buy the cheddar cheese by the brick and slice it myself.

    Salted butter, I prefer salted butter vs unsalted butter for a grilled sandwich due to the saltiness it adds.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Liberally spread one side of two slices of bread with butter.
    2. Lay one slice of bread butter side down on the air fryer basket or tray. Place a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of provolone cheese on top of the bread and cover with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
    3. Place the basket or tray in the air fryer and airfry at 370 degrees F for 3 minutes. Flip sandwich and air fry another 3 minutes at 400 degrees, or until both sides of the bread are golden brown.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute full fat mayonnaise for the butter spread.

    💭 Tips

    • Use any of our favorite cheese, but be sure to choose a good melting cheese.
    • Always start at a lower temperature to aid in melting the cheese, then turning the temperature up after flipping to aid in browning the bread.
    • Use thicker slices bread for a sturdier sandwich.

    🏫 The last word

    I feel the best air fryer to use is one with trays over one with a basket as you can make more sandwiches at a time with the larger air fryer.

    Add as much cheese as you wish, but remember that too much cheese may melt outside of the bread slices. Some like to shred the cheese instead of using slices. My preference is to use sliced in the air fry recipe. When cooking on the stove top I prefer shredded as it melts easier. The air fryer tends to melt the cheese perfectly, whether sliced of shredded.

    Some air fryers require preheating. The one I own does not. Check your user manual for the air fryer you own for preheating recommendations.

    The air fryer works perfectly for making a grilled cheese sandwich as the hot air circulates around the sandwich, causing the cheese to melt evenly and the buttery bread to crisp to perfection.
