Notes

  • Butter the side of the bread that will be on the outside of the sandwich to get it nice and crispy.
  • Try swapping the butter for mayonnaise!
  • Feel free to add in other fillings to the sandwich like pulled pork, green onions, or bacon.
Storage: Store air fryer grilled cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
