Choose the Right Bread – Use thick-cut bread like sourdough or Texas toast for a crispy, golden exterior.
Butter or Mayo? – Spread butter or mayo evenly on the outside of the bread for the perfect crunch and flavor.
Pick the Best Cheese – Use cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for a gooey, melty center. Shred the cheese for even melting.
Preheat Your Air Fryer – Set it to 360°F (182°C) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Assemble & Cook – Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping halfway through.
Press Lightly for a Crispy Finish – Use a spatula to gently press the sandwich for extra crunch without crushing it.
Let It Rest & Enjoy – Let the grilled cheese cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing to keep the cheese from oozing out too soon.
