Make perfectly golden, melty grilled cheese sandwiches in minutes using your air fryer! A fast, foolproof comfort food that’s beginner-friendly and satisfying.

Ingredients

4 slices of bread

4 slices of American cheese (or preferred cheese)

Unsalted butter (for spreading)

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer:

If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 390°F (200°C).

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Place two slices of cheese between two slices of bread.

Lightly butter both the top and bottom slices of bread.

Secure and Cook:

Insert toothpicks through sandwich corners to prevent the top bread slice from flying around inside the air fryer.

Place sandwiches in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Air Fry:

Cook at 390°F for 4 minutes.

Flip sandwiches and cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Serve:

Remove toothpicks. Let cool slightly and serve warm.

Notes

Use any cheese you love — cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, or a blend.

For extra crispiness, brush with melted butter or use mayonnaise instead.

Sandwiches can be cut in halves or triangles before serving for easier handling.
