For the crispiest grilled cheese, make sure to evenly coat the bread with butter or mayo. This will prevent any dry spots from forming during cooking.
Don’t be afraid to press the sandwich down lightly when you place it in the air fryer basket. This helps the bread make better contact with the heating elements for an even crisp.
Using a non-stick spray on the air fryer basket can help prevent the sandwich from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket—this ensures that the hot air can circulate properly and gives your sandwich that perfect crispiness on both sides.
If you like your grilled cheese extra gooey, consider using a combination of cheeses that melt well, such as American, mozzarella, or gouda. Experiment with different flavors to find your perfect melt.
If your air fryer model has a top heating element, it may cook the top of your sandwich faster than the bottom.
In this case, flipping the sandwich halfway through the cook time is essential to ensure an even golden crust on both sides.
For an extra crispy edge, try adding a sprinkle of breadcrumbs or Parmesan cheese to the buttered bread before placing it in the air fryer.
The crumbs will give a satisfying crunch and add a new layer of flavor to your sandwich.
Don’t forget to allow the sandwich to cool for a minute after cooking. This helps the cheese set a little, preventing it from spilling out when you cut into it.
If you want to make multiple sandwiches, you can cook them in batches, ensuring each sandwich gets the perfect crisp without overcrowding the air fryer.
