Crispy Perfection: The Secret to Making the Ultimate Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

Choose the Right Bread – Thick slices like sourdough or Texas toast hold up best and create that golden, crunchy exterior.

Use Real Butter or Mayo – Spread softened butter or mayonnaise on the outside of each slice for extra crispiness and flavor.

Layer Cheese Generously – Use a mix like sharp cheddar and mozzarella for gooey texture and bold taste.

Don’t Overstuff – Keep it simple. Too much cheese or extras like bacon can prevent even melting or make it soggy.

Cook at 370–375°F – This sweet spot crisps the bread while melting the cheese inside, usually in 6–8 minutes.

Flip Halfway Through – Turn your sandwich at the 3–4-minute mark for that evenly golden finish on both sides.

Use Toothpicks to Secure – If your sandwich keeps sliding apart, pin it gently with toothpicks (remove before serving!).

Get Creative – Try adding tomato slices, caramelized onions, or different cheeses for gourmet flair.
