This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese recipe is the perfect solution. The air fryer does all of the babysitting, so you end up with a perfect grilled cheese sandwich every time.
Colby: This is my pick for grilled cheese. It is an American cheese with mild flavor and creamy texture. Perfect for a melty and classic grilled cheese sandwich. American Cheese: Walk away from the slices in plastic. You can still get great American cheese that is perfect for melting. Monterey Jack: There is a reason that this the cheese I reach for in my Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. Sharp Cheddar Cheese: You can’t beat this classic. Havarti: If you are going to venture outside of the classics this is the first one I would reach for. Swiss: Can be a more mild cheese, that so many people are familiar with. It melts really well and works perfectly in a grilled cheese. Provolone: This has been one of my favorites for years. It has a strong taste that compliments lots of other flavors. I love pairing it with salami! Gouda: This always feels like a fancier cheese to me, and it has a stronger flavor than most cheeses, but it is absolutely amazing on grilled cheese.
Sourdough: You can’t beat the great taste that sourdough brings to a grilled cheese. Focaccia: This may not be an obvious choice, but we just got back from Italy, and this is a go to for them! And for good reason. Brioche: Buttery soft and so delicious, this is a great way to make for a fancy grilled cheese. White Bread: When all else fails, you can’t go wrong with the classic white bread for a great grilled cheese.
Use mayonnaise instead of butter on your bread. Try different cheeses. As stated above, Colby has the best melting qualities, but other cheeses such as sharp cheddar cheese, white cheddar, American, provolone and Havarti can all yield a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Experiment with different bread. You can use whatever you have on hand or try something new such as sourdough, white, wheat, or my Easy Sandwich Bread. Add in some meat: Layering in some meat (like ham, turkey, or salami) is a great way to make a more complex sandwich. Take it up a notch. This Turkey Bacon Brie Grilled Cheese tastes like a gourmet sandwich you would order at a restaurant but is super easy.
