Why Do They Call It A Grilled Cheese
A grilled cheese sandwich is just like it sounds. It’s a cheese sandwich that has been grilled to give you a crispy buttery crust. The difference is that we are making a grilled cheese air fryer recipe instead. No need for a skillet!
Tips For The Perfect Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
- Don’t add too much to the basket. Overcrowding the air fryer basket will affect the results. Instead, leave space around sandwiches so the air can circulate correctly.
- Go for thick bread. In a pinch, you can opt for thin bread, but whenever possible reach for bread that has some bulk to it. Texas toast works wonderfully!
- Make sure not to saturate the bread with the mayo or it will be more soggy and won’t toast up the way.
- forget the toothpicks. I know it’s tempting to skip them, but the bread may fly off if you don’t secure it.
- Use the cooking time as a guide. Depending on bread thickness, the sandwiches can cook faster or slower than in the recipe card. So it’s important when you air fry a grilled cheese sandwich that you keep a close watch so things stay toasty, not burnt.
