Air Fryer Grilled Cheese

As a grilled cheese expert, I can assure you that making an air fryer grilled cheese just might be the perfect way to cook this classic comfort food. The bread gets crispy, the cheese gets perfect melty, and it's almost impossible to burn it. I highly recommend using this method because it's essentially fail-proof!

Notes

If you hear the top piece of bread fly off during cooking, open it up, and secure the sandwich in place with a tooth-pic.
If you're using sliced cheese, I recommend using 2 slices of cheese.
