Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice mayo-side down in the air fryer basket. Top with the cheese. Place the other bread slice mayo-side up on top of the cheese.
- Air fryer for 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the bread is golden and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Notes
- Preheat the air fryer. Preheating the air fryer while you assemble the sandwich will save you time and get the hot air circulating for the best crisp and golden grilled cheese.
- Put the mayo-side down. The slices of bread should have the mayonnaise, or butter, on the outside, not the inside. Place the sandwich mayo-side down into the air fryer basket. This promotes browning and reduces sticking.
- Flip the sandwich halfway through. Use a heat-safe spatula to flip the sandwich after about 3 minutes. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty.
- Adjust the cooking time as needed. If you prefer a more lightly toasted sandwich, flip after 2 minutes. Keep in mind that each air fryer differs slightly so cooking time may need to be adjusted. If you make two sandwiches at the same time, you may need to increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes per side.
- Personalize grilled cheese with additional toppings. Try making this recipe with sliced or sundried tomatoes, bacon, pulled pork, sliced ham, or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of the cheese. You can also use more than one type of cheese.
