Air Fryer Grilled Cheese (Crispy & Melty)

Ingredients (4 sandwiches)

Instructions

1. Prep the bread
   Butter one side of each slice. (For extra crisp, spread a thin layer of mayo instead of butter on the outside.)

3. Air fry
   • Preheat air fryer to 370°F (188°C)

4. Serve hot
   Let rest 1 minute, then enjoy that cheese pull 🧀🔥
