"For fans of the movie "Chef," there will only ever be one correct way to make a grilled cheese sandwich: channel the spirit of Jon Favreau and then fuss over your three-cheese masterpiece. Lift the bread to check if it's toasted, adjust the heat, slide the sandwich around the griddle, and, for the final flourish, spread on a little more butter. Not only is it delicious, but all that fiddling around even makes you feel like a real chef."
"The rest of the steps remain the same: two slices of bread buttered on the outside, your favorite cheese or cheeses on the inside, before leaving it in the air fryer for four to six minutes, flipping once at the halfway mark to ensure both sides are crunchy. Why is this better than the pan? Essentially, an air fryer functions on the same principles as a convection oven."
Preheat the air fryer to no higher than 350 degrees Fahrenheit before cooking. Butter the outside of two bread slices and place cheese(s) between them. Cook the sandwich in the preheated air fryer for four to six minutes, flipping once at the halfway mark to ensure both sides are crunchy and the cheese melts. An air fryer behaves like a convection oven, maintaining consistent temperature and even heat circulation to guarantee melted cheese and crunchy toast. Secure the sandwich with a toothpick if needed to prevent the fan from shifting it. Small adjustments and additions can customize flavor and texture.
