Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

The crispiest, most golden grilled cheese sandwich — buttery, crunchy bread with perfectly melted cheese inside. The air fryer distributes heat evenly on both sides simultaneously. No flipping needed.

• 4 slices bread (sourdough recommended)
• 4 tbsp butter softened
• 4 slices cheese (American, cheddar, or gruyere)
• Optional add-ins: tomato slices, bacon, ham

1. Butter the OUTSIDE of each bread slice generously.
2. Place 2 slices butter-side DOWN.
3. Layer cheese (and add-ins) on each.
4. Top with remaining bread, butter-side UP.
5. Place in air fryer basket.
6. Cook at 370°F for 4 minutes.
7. Flip carefully.
8. Cook 3-4 more minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
9. Cut diagonally and serve immediately.
