Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon
- 2 slices sandwich bread white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.
- 4 slices cheese cheddar, American, etc.
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Set the air fryer to preheat to 380℉ (if your air fryer requires preheating).Put sandwich into the air fryer.
- Air fry or pan fry the bacon slices until they're cooked to your preference.
- Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of butter on 1 side of each bread slice. On the non-buttered side of 1 slice, place 2 cheese slices. Layer with bacon slices on top, then the remaining cheese. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Air fry for 5-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cheese is melted and both sides of the sandwich are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the air fryer basket using a spatula. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Storing & Reheating: Wrap leftovers in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 260 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes for the sandwich to regain crispiness.
Freezing: Freeze in freezer safe storage bags for up to 3 months for optimal quality. Defrost in the fridge overnight or reheat in the air fryer from frozen for 5-10 minutes.
Cheese variations: My favorite cheese for a bacon grilled cheese is extra sharp cheddar. American cheese, white cheddar, and pepper jack also taste wonderful.
Bread variations: Any type of sandwich bread, such as white bread, whole wheat bread and sourdough bread.
