You can focus on the type of cheese or the brand of bread you love. You can also stick to one brand of mayonnaise that works best for you, or maybe you are someone who loves to add mustard for that extra kick.

No matter what your preferences are, a good grilled cheese sandwich will always bring you happiness and comfort.

Over a year ago, the YouTube channel Casual Cooking posted a simple grilled cheese sandwich recipe.

It garnered 1.1M views because instead of the usual method of cooking the sandwich; they showed us how to prepare it using an air fryer.

An air fryer can do the job pretty well, too, because the hot air that circulates around the food makes it extra crispy.

Here’s what you’ll need for one delicious grilled cheese sandwich:

The first step is to get a plate. Then get two pieces of soft bread and lay them on your plate.

Get your softened butter and using your brush, butter each piece of bread on one side. Take your time and make sure you’ve put enough butter.

Flip the bread to the other side and then spread your mayonnaise.

Make sure to only do this on the top of the bread.

Flip one piece of bread and now you have the one with the butter facing up.

Get your choice of cheese and put it on the bread. For this video, he added three American slices of cheese.

Remember, you can add as much as you want.

Now, put the other slice of bread (butter side down) over the one with the cheese.

Preheat your air fryer and then put parchment paper or foil to prevent melted cheese from sticking.

Cook your cheese sandwich at 370°F for four minutes.

Then flip that gorgeous sandwich after four minutes and cook it again for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

That’s it! Cut it in half and see that beautiful cheese pull.

What we’ve learned from this tutorial:

– Your sandwich will toast fast depending on the mayonnaise that you’ll be using. Check it so you won’t end up with a burnt sandwich.
