air fryer pepperoni grilled cheese
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 13 minutes
Serving Size: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of your favorite bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Assemble Sandwiches:
- On two slices of bread, evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese. Top the cheese with pepperoni slices and then place the remaining two slices of bread on top, creating two sandwiches.
- Butter the Bread:
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outsides of each sandwich. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder on the buttered sides.
- Air Fry Grilled Cheese:
- Place the buttered and seasoned sides of the sandwiches in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 4 minutes.
- Flip and Air Fry Again:
- Carefully flip the sandwiches, so the other side gets golden brown. Air fry for an additional 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is crispy.
- Check for Doneness:
- Keep an eye on the sandwiches to ensure they reach your desired level of crispiness.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the pepperoni grilled cheese from the air fryer. Let them cool for a minute before slicing.
- Optional Dipping Sauce:
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy the delicious and crispy air fryer pepperoni grilled cheese!
