Air Fryer Grilled Cheese
This Air Fryer Grilled Cheese takes less than 10 minutes to cook, is crispy on the outside, and gooey on the inside. It does not get much better than bread and cheese. And the air fryer cooks this classic sandwich to perfection.

Notes
Good quality bread - I like to use sourdough or any crusty white round loaf of bread. Traditional sandwich bread also works.
Cheese - There are so many different cheeses that are great for a good grilled cheese sandwich. I love to use a combo of a couple of the following, white/yellow american, cheddar, colby jack, fontina, gruyere, or swiss. Use whatever is in your fridge.
