u003cstrongu003eHow long should I air fry my sandwich?u003c/strongu003e

Sandwiches should be air-fried for about 6-10 minutes total, but this can vary from air fryer to air fryer. For this recipe, I recommend 3-5 minutes, then flip and air for another 3-5 minutes.

u003cstrongu003eWhat happens if you air fry cheese?u003c/strongu003e

When you air fry cheese, it melts beautifully! Just like when you cook grilled cheese in a pan on the stove, the cheese melts like a dream in these air fryer grilled cheese sandwiches as well!

u003cstrongu003eCan you toast in an air fryer?u003c/strongu003e

Yes! The air fryer is a great way to toast bread because it can toast it evenly very quickly. That's what makes the air fryer perfect for making grilled cheese sandwiches. The bread gets perfectly toasted on the outside, while the cheese gets melty in the middle!

Notes

The amount of butter and cheese may differ depending on how large your bread is. Take the measurements in the recipe card as suggestions and starting points. Depending on what type of bread you use, your slices may be bigger or smaller, so adjust the ingredients as needed.
Each air fryer cooks slightly differently. You may need to adjust the time or temperature to get the grilled cheese dark golden brown on the outside. If you aren’t sure if your temperature is too high or low, check your sandwiches a few times to see how quickly they are browning. I have the Instant Vortex and absolutely love the versatility that it offers! It allows me to air fry, roast, bake, broil, and dehydrate all with one appliance.
If you’re using thiny sliced bread, you may want to stick a toothpick or two through your grilled cheese to hold the bread in place. As the air circulates, it may move your bread around as it cooks.
