Crispy Air Fryer Grilled Cheese with Mayo

Ingredients

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 slices white bread
4 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta ®), sliced

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (or 180 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). This initial step is crucial to ensure the optimal temperature for cooking your sandwiches.

Next, take 4 slices of bread and spread a layer of mayonnaise evenly onto each slice. Make sure to cover the entire surface, but avoid applying too much pressure, which could cause the mayonnaise to spread beyond your desired boundaries.

Now, divide 2 slices of cheese among the 2 bread slices that have mayonnaise facing downwards. This will create a harmonious balance of flavors and textures within your sandwiches.

Place the remaining 2 slices of bread on top of the cheese, ensuring that they are facing upwards and making gentle pressure to secure everything in place.

Carefully position the sandwiches in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer to allow for even cooking. Be mindful of the recommended space between each sandwich, as overcrowding can lead to subpar results.

Cook your sandwiches in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes, followed by a flip to ensure they are cooked evenly. Continue cooking until your sandwiches achieve a golden-brown color and the cheese is melted, taking an additional 2-3 minutes.

As you work with your air fryer, keep in mind that the size of the device can impact cooking time. You may need to cook your sandwiches in batches, so plan accordingly.

Once cooked, slice your sandwiches diagonally and serve them warm, allowing the flavors to meld together in perfect harmony.
