Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 4 pieces sandwich bread
  • 4 slices cheese (2 cheddar slices and 2 Havarti slices)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (or mayonnaise as an alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Spread butter or mayonnaise evenly on one side of each piece of bread. This layer will help create a crispy, golden crust during air frying.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place one slice of bread in the air fryer basket with the buttered side down. Layer 2 slices of cheese on top, then cover with another slice of bread, spread side up.
  3. Air Fry the Sandwiches: Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and cook the sandwiches for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, carefully flip the sandwiches to the other side and continue to cook for an additional 4 minutes or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted to your preference.
  4. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the air fryer and serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayonnaise for butter on the bread for a different flavor and crispiness.
  • Feel free to use your favorite type of cheese or mix of cheeses to customize the flavor.
  • Check the sandwich during the second half of cooking if you prefer a lighter or deeper toasted crust.
  • Air fryer models vary; cooking times may need slight adjustment depending on your specific air fryer.
