Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 slices slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your favorite variety)
  • 2 slices slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese you adore)
  • to taste Butter or cooking spray (for a golden finish) Cooking spray can be used for a lighter option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) to create that perfect crust.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Take two slices of bread and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the air fryer basket. Layer both slices of cheese on top, and then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cooking
  1. Cook: Air fry for about 5 minutes, watching for a lovely golden color. If you prefer it extra crispy, add an additional minute.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the sandwich from the air fryer (it will be hot!), slice it in half, and dig in to enjoy the melty goodness!

Notes

Pair your air fryer grilled cheese with a warm bowl of tomato soup, a fresh green salad, or crispy veggies. For best results, enjoy it fresh!
