Making a crispy, melty grilled cheese sandwich in the air fryer is a delightful way to elevate this classic comfort food. Begin by selecting two slices of your favourite bread—thick-cut sourdough or classic white work splendidly. Generously butter the outside of each slice; this will ensure a golden, crispy exterior.

Next, choose your cheese; a combination of cheddar and mozzarella creates the perfect meltiness. Assemble the sandwich with cheese nestled between the slices of buttered bread. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C and place the sandwich inside once it’s ready.

Cook for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. Keep an eye on it, as air fryers can vary in cooking times. The result? A perfectly toasted, crispy crust encasing a gooey, cheesy centre that’s nothing short of heavenly. Serve with a warming bowl of tomato soup for the ultimate indulgence!
