Ingredients
2slicesof your favorite bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat work great)
1/2cupgrated sharp cheddar cheese
1tbspbutter
Instructions
Begin by spreading a generous layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to spread it evenly from edge to edge for the crispiest crust. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese onto the unbuttered side of one slice of bread. Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side out.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket, buttered side up. Air fry for 3 to 5 minutes until the bread begins to turn golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich using tongs or a spatula and cook for an additional 2 to 5 minutes, or until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted and oozy.
Remove the sandwich from the air fryer. Let it sit for a minute to allow the cheese to set slightly, then slice and enjoy the perfect, melt-in-your-mouth grilled cheese!
Notes
Using grated cheddar cheesein this air fryer grilled cheese ensures that the cheese melts beautifully and evenly, creating that perfect gooey, cheesy experience between two crispy slices of bread.
