The ultimate crispy grilled cheese made in the air fryer for perfect results every time.

Ingredients

• Slices bread × 2
• Slices sharp cheddar cheese × 3
• 15 g Mayonnaise

Method

1. Preheat

   

   Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 2-3 minutes.

2. Spread a thin layer

   

   Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the OUTSIDE of each bread slice — this is the secret to an evenly golden, crispy crust (it works better than butter in an air fryer).

3. Layer your cheese slices between

   

   Layer your cheese slices between the two bread slices with the mayo side facing out.

4. Air Fry

   

   Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then carefully flip with a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are deeply golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

5. Serve

   

   Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute so the cheese stops bubbling, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while the cheese is still stretchy.
