Using the air fryer is a genius way to make these golden, toasty sandwiches. I think this method gets the cheese the gooiest. If I'm making only one air-fryer grilled cheese, I'll also pop in a few fries with the sandwich. -Edie DeSpain, Logan, Utah

I grew up eating grilled cheese sandwiches made with Velveeta®, and I still think it's absolutely the best for this sandwich. It's flavorful, and melts beautifully. If you happen to have brioche bread on hand, use it because it makes this sandwich taste divine!

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat, will hold up best in the air fryer. Avoid using thin or delicate breads, as they may burn or become too crispy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your grilled cheese sandwich. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a flavor that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer. If you are making multiple sandwiches, be sure to cook them in batches. Overcrowding the air fryer will prevent the sandwiches from cooking evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the sandwiches. Air fryers can cook food quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on the sandwiches to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve immediately. Grilled cheese sandwiches are best served hot and gooey. Serve them immediately with your favorite sides, such as tomato soup or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Making grilled cheese sandwiches in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic comfort food. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a delicious and satisfying grilled cheese sandwich that the whole family will love. So next time you're craving a grilled cheese sandwich, reach for your air fryer instead of your stovetop. You won't be disappointed!
