The air fryer grilled cheese sandwich takes a classic comfort food and makes it not only quicker, but easier too. Who doesn’t love a grilled cheese sandwich? This might be the easiest, cheapest, and quickest recipe that ever gets posted to this blog. Not only that, it’s a wonderful tasty meal for one, and cooking it in air fryer or oven makes for fewer dirty dishes and a faster prep time. I won’t tell you the number of sandwiches that had to be sacrificed to find the perfect time, temperature, and cooking method.

Notes

All air fryers cook at different speeds.  These recipes are meant to be a general guide.  Cooking times depend on various factors including thickness, cut, and type of meat used.  I use an Instant Pot Vortex Plus shelf air fryer.  If you’re using something different, especially a bucket type air fryer, I advise keeping an eye on food so it doesn’t under, or overcook.

  1. Love this site. Only thing is can you darken the type? Hard for these old eyes to read the light grey.

    1. Helen, I’ve made some adjustments and darkened the font. Please let me know if it looks any better now.
