Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Toothpicks

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices thick slices of white bread
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese sliced thinly
  • 4-8 slices Swiss, provolone, American, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Fontina or Havarti or your favorite melty cheese
  • butter for spreading

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees.
  • Butter the outsides of the bread slices and assemble sandwiches with cheese in the center. Use a toothpick to secure the sandwich together (if your bread is thin, the top piece will blow off during cooking).
  • Place grilled cheese sandwiches in air fryer basket or oven in an even layer—you will likely need to cook them in batches. Air fry at 370 degrees for 2-3 minutes, flip and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  • Check often to check that it doesn't burn. During the first minute of cooking, check that the top slice of bread hasn't blown off of the cheese.
  • Total cook time will depend on the type of bread. Check on it periodically and continue cooking until it reaches your desired level of toasted. Remove toothpick before eating.
