Golden & Crispy: Mastering the Art of Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
Choose the Right Bread: Opt for thick, hearty bread like sourdough or Texas toast. These hold up well in the air fryer and get crispy without falling apart.
Use Quality Cheese: A blend of sharp cheddar and mozzarella provides both flavor and meltability. Don't skimp on the cheese—more is better!
Butter, Don't Skimp: Spread butter generously on the outside of the bread. This helps achieve that beautiful golden color and crispy texture.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Give your air fryer a few minutes to heat up to ensure an even cook.
Set the Right Temperature: Cook your sandwich at 375°F (190°C) for about 6-8 minutes. This ensures the cheese melts while the bread crisps up.
Flip Halfway: To avoid uneven crisping, flip the sandwich halfway through the cooking time.
Perfect for Pairing: Serve your air fryer grilled cheese with a hot bowl of tomato soup for a classic combo.
Experiment with Cheese Types: Try different cheese combos like gouda, brie, or even a spicy pepper jack for extra flair.
