Description

Indulge in this quick and comforting Crispy Air-Fryer Grilled Cheese, featuring gooey cheese and perfectly toasted bread, all made in minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices bread (sourdough, whole grain, or classic white)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat.
  2. Assemble Your Sandwich: Spread butter generously on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the cheddar and mozzarella cheese mixture. Top with the second slice of bread, ensuring the buttered sides are facing out.
  3. Season It Right: Sprinkle garlic powder on the outside buttered sides of the sandwich.
  4. Cook It Up: Place the assembled sandwich in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  5. Check for Doneness: After flipping, monitor your sandwich until it's golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve with tomato soup or enjoy as a standalone snack.
