Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Sandwich

A classic comfort food made quicker and crispier, this air fryer grilled cheese sandwich delivers golden crunch and gooey melt with zero fuss. Perfect for anyone craving a quick air fryer cheese sandwich fix without the stove.

How to Make

  1. 1.

    Butter the Bread

    Take two slices of your favourite bread and spread butter on one side of each. This is what gives the sandwich that golden, crispy finish in the air fryer.

  2. 2.

    Add the Cheese

    Flip the slices over and spread The Laughing Cow Cheese on the plain side of one slice. Don’t hold back, it melts beautifully for that creamy, cheesy bite.

  3. 3.

    Spice It Up (Optional)

    Fancy a bit of heat or flavour? Sprinkle on some chilli flakes, oregano or even a few green chillies for that extra kick.

  4. 4.

    Make the Sandwich

    Place the second slice on top, buttered side facing out. That’s your cheesy masterpiece ready to go.

  5. 5.

    Preheat the Air Fryer

    Set your air fryer to 180°C and let it warm up for 2 minutes. This helps the sandwich get crisp evenly.

  6. 6.

    Air Fry Away

    Pop the sandwich into the basket and air fry it for 6 to 8 minutes. Flip it once halfway through to get both sides lovely and golden.

  7. 7.

    Serve It Hot

    Once it’s golden on the outside and melty inside, take it out, let it cool for a minute, then enjoy every gooey bite. You've just made a delicious grilled cheese in an air fryer style.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat or multigrain bread?

Absolutely. It’s a healthier twist and still tastes great in the air fryer.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Best enjoyed hot and fresh. But you can prep and refrigerate the sandwich, then air fry it just before eating.

What’s the best temperature and time to air fry cheese sandwiches?

180°C (350°F) for about 6–8 minutes, flipping once halfway. That’s the key to a perfect air fry grilled cheese that’s crisp on the outside and melty inside.

Can I skip butter to make it healthier?

Yes, but you may miss out on that crispy golden crust. You can try using ghee or even olive oil instead.

Will the cheese melt properly in an air fryer?

With the Laughing Cow Cheese, it melts beautifully and evenly, no worries.
