Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
Description
This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese begins by applying a layer of soft cheese or butter on a fresh bread slice, which helps create a creamy base. Slices of regular cheese are pressed on top before placing the sandwich inside a preheated air fryer at 180°C (360°F). It cooks for around 3 minutes, enough to melt the cheese and slightly toast the bread.
The texture is a balance of crisp exterior bread and melty cheese interior, achieved without the need for flipping. The use of fresh bread and layering soft cheese inside contributes to a moist, tender filling. Variations including toppings such as tomato slices or dried oregano can add extra flavor.
The recipe suits small batches and easy preparation, with flexibility to adjust cooking time depending on bread thickness. It is recommended to serve warm, paired with mayonnaise or other dips for added taste.

- Air Fryer

- 500 g bread fresh, sliced
- 3 lices cheese
- 50 g soft cheese
Instructions

Notes
- Add an extra minute of cooking time if using cold, pantry bread to ensure thorough heating.
- The general cheese-to-bread ratio is about 1.5 slices of cheese per bread slice, adjustable for serving size.
- For variety, include toppings like sliced tomato or dried oregano; these enhance flavor without complicating the air fryer process.
- Batch size depends on bread slice dimensions; smaller slices allow cooking multiple sandwiches simultaneously.
