Grilled cheese sandwiches are a classic comfort food that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for generations. And what’s not to love about them? They are quick and easy to make, and they are entirely customizable to individual tastes. Most importantly, they are downright delicious.

And the melting cheese makes it even tastier. While traditionally made in a pan on a stovetop or a sandwich griller, there is a new way to make grilled cheese sandwiches that have been gaining popularity in recent years, and that is none other than An Air Fryer.

Air fryer grilled cheese sandwiches are totally life-changing. I was a little dicey about making a grilled sandwich in an air fryer, but the result it gave was just out of the world.

Whether you are looking for a quick snack or a satisfying meal, a grilled cheese sandwich made in an air fryer is always a great option. An air fryer is perfect for cooking everything from reheating pizza, frozen French fries, or frozen onion rings and now the grilled cheese sandwich.

In this blog post, we will go through the advantages of cooking grilled cheese sandwiches in an air fryer, as well as step by step process on how to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich in an air fryer.

How Does An Air Fryer Work?

An air fryer is basically a mini convection oven that sits on your countertop. An air fryer cooks with oil rather than oil.

An Air fryer has a heating element on top that circulates hot air through a fan around your food. This makes your food crispy from the outside, keeping the juiciness and moistness on the inside.

Why Is Air Frying The Best Way To Construct Grilled Cheese Sandwiches?

There are numerous reasons to cook food in an air fryer, but the reasons listed below are the most important ones.

  • Healthy: Cooking grilled cheese sandwiches in an air fryer makes them healthier as it needs a very little amount of butter or no butter at all.
  • Fast: It’s way too quick to make a grilled cheese sandwich in an air fryer rather than in a pan or a sandwich maker.
  • Mess-free kitchen countertop: What more do we need than a squeaky clean kitchen counter even when you are cooking? Just place the sandwich in the basket and cook until it’s done. Also, it doesn’t take up much space in your kitchen.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • White bread: Any bread of your choice will do.
  • Butter: Using butter or oil in the recipe is unnecessary, but I have used butter to make it more flavorful.
  • Coriander leaves: Again, you can skip coriander if you do not like the taste or smell of coriander. But I personally am a big fan of coriander, so I could not pass on the opportunity to use them.
  • Paprika powder: I used paprika powder to make it slightly spicy.
  • Cheddar cheese: cheddar cheese has a bold and rich taste that compliments the other two cheeses in the sandwich.
  • Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese turns the simple grilled cheese sandwich into a gourmet meal.
  • Mozzarella cheese: Mozzarella is known for its light taste that melts and stretches perfectly.

How To Make A Grilled Cheese Sandwich In An Air Fryer?

For complete instructions, see the recipe box.

Preparation: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for a few minutes and place liners to make it less messy. Collect the ingredients required to make the sandwich.

Mix Butter And Coriander: Take soft butter and add chopped coriander, then mix both ingredients.

Mix Cheeses: In A different bowl, mix all three cheeses and paprika powder in a bowl. If you don’t want to use paprika powder, you can skip this ingredient.

Prepare Bread Slice: Now take a slice of bread and spread butter-coriander mix on both sides.

Spread Cheese Mixture on Bread: Put the cheese mixture on one buttered bread slice and place another buttered bread slice on top of the mixture.

Cook: Lay the bread inside the basket for 10-12 minutes. Flip it halfway through cooking to ensure even baking on both sides. Cook for 3-4 minutes more to make them crispier.

Serve: Carefully remove from the basket and serve with your favorite soup or dip.

Chef’s Tip For The Recipe

Tip For Cooking

Keep your eyes on the air fryer; as it cooks food fast, it may burn the bread from the top.

Cook for 2-3 minutes more to make the grilled sandwich crispier.

Use an air fryer liner so it doesn’t stick to the basket.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
