Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 Slices Sandwich Bread
  • 4 Cheddar Cheese Slices

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380F.
  • In a small bowl mix together mayonnaise and mustard.
  • Spread the mayo mixture on one side of a slice of bread. Place the bread in the air fryer basket buttered side down.
  • Place two slices of cheese on top of the bread slice.
  • Spread the mayonnaise mixture on another slice of bread and place it on the cheese buttered side up. If you want to secure the sandwich together with a toothpick to make sure the bread doesn’t shift during cooking. Just push a toothpick through the center of the sandwich.
  • Air fry the grilled cheese for 6 minutes.
  • Gently flip the sandwich to the other side and fry for another 6 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Repeat with additional bread and cheese to create more sandwiches.
  • Serve the grilled cheese hot while it remains soft or even stretchy.
