Listen to that crunch…… oh yummmm !! Matt, right before sandwich is almost done, cut the whole sandwich into small squares then cook a little longer. This makes the most delicious and crispy grilled cheese croutons for your tomato soup or whatever soup you like. So yummy and super crunchy too. Delicious. 😋
I just recently bought my son Steven and air fryer as he likes to be busy in the kitchen. He loves grilled cheese sannies and he's looking for recipes for his air fryer. Steven will love this and we are blessed living in Scotland to be able to buy coloured Scottish Cheddar which we both love. Thanks again Matt, your recipes come in really handy xx Jean from Scottish Cheddar Land :)
Great recipe. It came out perfect. And such a time saver! I have 3 kids so normally I could make 2 in the pan, and one would have to wait for theirs. With this I can make all of them, and even an extra one for me, all at the same time so we can all eat lunch together.
Hi Matt, thank you for spreading the butter right up to the edges of the bread, I hate it when people only spread it in the middle 🤣 Greetings from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
It was you that showed me that I could make cheese toasties in a pan on the hob; I never make them any other way now, and all my family, including myself, got rid of the electric cheese toasters. Your air fryer cheese toastie look good, but I'm gonna stick to the pan on the hob. We all bless the day that you showed that video; so easy, quick and simple. :)
Hi Lauren! :) Yes they are still very yummy in a skillet on the stovetop burner or as you like to say the hob. :) So glad you like that old grilled cheese video!!
2 things I’d like to say. You can’t beat Kraft singles for a grilled cheese the old fashioned way. The other is to dash a little garlic salt or powder on to the bread after it’s buttered. It will step the game up a notch
Nah, haha, Kraft singles are so gross. In my opinion. I ate it all the time growing up, but once you discover the vast world of other cheeses available, Kraft singles pales in comparison. Garlic is always a good idea!
Try spreading butter on the cheese side of each bread slice, and then spread mayo on the grill side. The bread browns/crisps up so much better and the cheese gets creamier. Also, use a piece of foil for easier cleanup.
@@colejarvis666 lol. Tell us you’ve never tasted a grilled cheese made with mayo without telling us you’ve never tasted a grilled cheese made with mayo.
Just made a toastier with cheese, ham and a small salad. It was delicious thank you for the tips. I used butter from Ireland and Irish chess. Will keep checking your receipted. Just got a new Air Fryer, my daughters all use theirs. Trying also to save on electricity as prices have soared. Thank you Matt ☘️👋🏻🕊️
Awesome! I love Irish butter and cheese. There is a brand they sell here in stores imported from Ireland called Kerrygold that I really like. And you are welcome! Glad you have a new air fryer. I have several other air fryer recipes on here that you can try if you like :)
Awesome video Matt first time I watched your video you explained very nicely however you used brioche great it's French origin enriched dough and tested a little sweeter this video is perfect for everyone thanks.
At last, someone else who calls American cheese fake cheese. I call it plastic cheese also! I'm in the UK ( very close to Cheddar!) so it has to be cheddar cheese. Like others did not quite understand why it was butter side down but will try it. Just got a Ninja air fryer & amazed with the results so far. Thanks for the video
You are so very welcome! Yes, I can't stand American cheese, lol. There are so many other amazing cheeses that you can use for Grilled cheese. The only thing American cheese has going for it, is that it melts really well, lol.
Australian 🇦🇺 cheese is really good as well.😉 thanks for your recipes. All I need now is an air fryer 😉 I’m still looking for the best brand. Air fryers are all the rage at the moment, no need to use and clean an oven. ✅ Not only looks good Mat it sounds good ,nice and crunchy.
@@wendyhannan2454 Best thing I ever bought. So popular in the UK that they are like gold dust as everywhere is sold out! I have a Ninja airfryer & it is amazing. Tried Matt's recipe & is really good & make it all the time now
There's pro's and cons with this airfryer method. I've done both stovetop frying pan and airfry. Griddle Pan fried toasties have that pan fry flavour and grill line marks, whereas the airfry just has a toasted butter flavour. Both are good, but my preference is the pan. And if you cook bacon first for the toastie, the bacon grease adds even more flavour to the toastie. My favourite is bacon, cheese and onion. I'll tell you what's really nice, is fruit loaf (bread) toastie. You can use a mild easy melting cheese or cream cheese. Be careful though, fruit loaf can burn very easily. Cheers mate 🤤👍😀🇦🇺
The Scottish recipe using a grill for toasted cheese is: take a slice of bread, spread chilli sauce or Branson pickle or sliced pickled onions, grate or slice your choice of cheese and place under the grill until it bubbles. The base being soft adds to the speed at which you can eat it. Repeat until sated.
Good to see you are using something resembling real cheese. Most U.S YT vids show grilled cheese sandwiches constructed using strange squares of sweaty, shiny, plastic-looking stuff. Two presenters even claimed it was Cheddar! If you buy your cheese in plastic don't be surprised if it tastes like plastic.
Haha thanks! I can't stand American Cheese lol, growing up as a kid I thought that was the only kind of cheese because it was cheap and what my mom bought. It does melt really well so I can see why people like it, but it is terrible cheese.
Brioche has a slightly sweet taste for grilled cheese. White bread is better for it because it doesn’t have a slightly sweet taste. I also heard that air fryer grilled cheese sandwiches are crispier & crunchier than if you were to pan fry them or use your griddle. For me I like the pan fried version better.
If you want to reduce the calories but keep the flavor, just melt some butter and lightly apply it to the bread with a brush. If you want to get creative, mix butter and mayo for the spread on your grilled cheese. If you want to get crazy sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the up side of your sandwich to start and when you flip it.
Hi again Matt. A simple grilled cheese sandwich and not Duck Breasts with Apricot Chutney dinner for 6 people ! Simple is everyday yummy and a grilled cheese sandwich is just that. I asked you last time if there is an appreciable difference between a basket air fryer and a oven type air fryer and you didn't think there was. With today's topic I just want to mention that making a grilled cheese sandwich in my oven type air fryer there is no need to flip the sandwich. I will admit that one side is ever so slightly lighter but toasted well enough to merit a prize ! I would be curious to know if your other followers have found a difference between the two types of air fryers. I've been thinking of up grading the air fryer. Thanks, enjoyed your presentation and now I'm off to the kitchen for a grilled cheese !
Hi Philippe!! you certainly can flip the sandwich halfway through the cooking time to promote a more even cook, it all depends on the air fryer. I haven't tried the oven-type air fryer only the basket kind, and interesting thing to find out for sure. Probably a video on it somewhere here on UA-cam haha. You are very welcome! Glad you are trying it!
Being a Wisconsinite, I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest using "Brick Cheese". It originated in Wisconsin in 1877. The best brand is Widmer's from Theresa, Wisconsin - family owned since 1922. Try it and you'll be surprised how good it is.
Yummy!! I grew up in California, and they have really good cheese there as well. The slogan "It's the cheese" from Real California cheese. They showed the cheese commercials all the time, haha. Personally I just love cheese, and don't care where it comes from. And I always buy brick cheese and slice it myself. Well sometimes if I am feeling lazy I will buy shredded or pre-sliced, haha. My grocery store has a amazing cheese stand with all kinds of cheeses, I will look for some Wisconsin cheese. The Widmer brand. If not, I will just buy it on amazon. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt "Real California Cheese"????? Remember that Wisconsin IS the Dairy State" LOL (just some friendly rivalry on my part). Widmer's is sold throughout California - Bristol Farms, Whole Foods, New leaf, Lazy Acres to name a few. Joe carries on Widmer’s traditional Brick production-to the tune of 360,000 pounds a year. He still uses the same open vats in the 12,000 square-foot facility that his grandfather bought in 1922. And he still uses the same well-worn bricks that his grandfather used to press the whey from the cheese in the forms. In fact, he’s credited as being the ONLY cheesemaker in the country to continue to use real bricks as part of the make procedure.
@@AFmedic That's awesome, yeah I will have to see if they have it at Wholefoods where I live. I was just at my supermarket earlier today Frys (Kroger). And although their cheese spread is expansive, no Wisconsin cheese. That is cool about Joe!
It depends on the air fryer, in mine, you don't need to. If you have the kind that looks like a little mini oven, then yes, preheat for 2 to 3 minutes first. Although, it will probably be fine without preheating it.
My tower is only toasting one side of my toast. I make them open with cheese and tomato and spring onion. Delicious but I’d like both sides toasted. Scots cheddar yummy
Did you know that I was subscribed to you before I realized Jared was your brother? 🙈 one day I was like, “mom you have to see this UA-camr he reminds me so much of Jared Taylor!” 😂 love your vids, keep it up!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt he’s our “uncle Jared” my dad and him go way back. Maybe you know him, Carl Dobbins. They were scout leaders together. Oh you definitely know him they run the Grand Canyon together lol
I have been stealing myself to try this for some time. Ever since I was puzzled as to why, on a George Forman Grill thingy they said to put the buttered side of the bread on the outside and the cheese in the middle when I have always done it the opposite way, although my preferred way is to toast the bread (in a Toaster) butter the slice and place the cheese (on the same, already toasted side) then stick it under the Grill (i.e. Grilled Cheese) untill it melts then stick the other slice of toast (buttered side towards the cheese) on top. I always assumed that the butter was a way of applying a non-stick coating to the grill plates although my ancient Electric Grill never needed that. This has always seemed to me to be a Cheese on Fried Bread recipe. However I will give it a go in the Air Fryer, evenually.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I have since realised that there is a conflict of English use involved. Grill may not mean the same to an English person compared to an American (USA type). So I have been comparing uSA grilled (fried bread and cheese) to Britsh Cheese on Toast. I like fried bread, but both sides so I may give this a go.
Yeah that should be fine, it will probably burn in the air fryer, but it will still work okay. If you soak the toothpick in water first that will help.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks but what will be the set to chose though? Grill?, roast ? Meat ? It is essencial to know which one to chose . I think ou should find out even though your air-fryer doesn’t have settings otherwise how can we try / enjoy your receipt? Many thanks !
@@inthekitchenwithmatt they got out a few minutes ago, i taste tested both of them. i havent finished them im waiting for a side right now. the buttered one had the most issues when cooking, but turned out okay. the cheese was burnt. the mayo sandwich did good, the cheese was only brnt a tiny bit in one corner. right now, i like the mayo sandwich better, i will come back when im finished eating
Thanks for the video. However we need to know what is the “function” you chose in the air-fryer to do it . Mike has “grill”, frozen, roast, meat , on and on . Thanks
Mine does not have a different function, it only is an air fryer. It has two knobs one for the temp and one for the time that is it. You will just have to experiment with yours. If you have an "Air Fry" function, use that. Otherwise, try grill, or if you have a function that says toast, that will probably work.
Just a curious question: why do you have to put it with the buttered side on top/bottom? I tried with ham and cheese but put the buttered sides on the inside and result was reasonable so maybe your way works better?
Because that is how you get the classic grilled cheese taste it should always be done on the outside of the bread. :) Next time try it this way and see the difference.
It depends on your air fryer. The kind I have is simple, it is just an air fryer. It has a setting for Temperature and a setting for time and that is it. If you have a combo, then there should be an "air fryer" setting. As well as a time and temp setting.
Worth I think pointing out that real Cheddar comes from the village of Cheddar in Somerset England. OK it has become known as a process to make cheese and much copied around the world. But real Cheddar is something else and takes your tastebuds to a whole new level. The village is famous for its many caves in the Cheddar Gauge. The caves provide the perfect environment to mature the real Cheddar.
Yes, authentic Cheddar cheese is so yummy. I will sometimes buy imported cheddar, it is more expensive, but so worth it. One of my favorites is Aged Irish Cheddar, so yummy.
@@johnwilletts3984 If they have it where I buy cheese, then I will get it. I may have tried it before, a few times a year for special occasions we have a huge charcuterie board featuring all kinds of different cheeses. My brother is the one that puts it together, so I can't remember all the different kinds he puts. But he does do a few different kinds of cheddar cheese.

Thanks!! You are welcome!
hot tip for my fellow airfryer toastie lovers, you can use a couple of cocktail sticks to stop the slide ;)
Yes great tip! If you are having that issue.
I always put the sandwich first one minute in the microwave to get the cheese melt very well. It also saves time if you are with more people.
It melts great as is in my air fryer, but do what works for you! :)
Sliced mozzarella and colby-jack used together work well also!

Will the butter from the lower slice not drip through the holes into the lower compartment? That would be a waste.

@@rodrigomarino9616 You select Air Fry if you have that setting.
waw best chef
Thanks!
How do you stop the bread flying off
Looks delicious. What kind of Tillamook cheese did you use??
Thanks! Standard Tillamook mild cheddar, my favorite. :)
Everyone forgets a splash of Lea & Perrins, Worcestershire sauce to you guys in the US yummy
We don't forget it, we just don't use it on grilled cheese. :) And we have the Lea an Perrins brand here as well.
im doing this rn and when i went to check one of the breads was up against the wall of the air fryer. i will tell you how it goes when its done
Good luck!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt they got out a few minutes ago, i taste tested both of them. i havent finished them im waiting for a side right now. the buttered one had the most issues when cooking, but turned out okay. the cheese was burnt. the mayo sandwich did good, the cheese was only brnt a tiny bit in one corner. right now, i like the mayo sandwich better, i will come back when im finished eating
May I ask you Matt, what is the brand of air fryer you use ?
Hi Wendy, I have a Secura air fryer. This is the exact one I have: amzn.to/3t3j9oB
This saves fuel especially with the crisis imagine how long a cast iron pan takes to heat up 😮
Thanks for the video. However we need to know what is the “function” you chose in the air-fryer to do it . Mike has “grill”, frozen, roast, meat , on and on .
Thanks
Mine does not have a different function, it only is an air fryer. It has two knobs one for the temp and one for the time that is it. You will just have to experiment with yours. If you have an "Air Fry" function, use that. Otherwise, try grill, or if you have a function that says toast, that will probably work.
"20 years in the can, I wanted manicotti. I compromised. I ate grilled cheese off the air fryer instead".
haha. Can never go wrong with a grilled cheese! lol
Kerrygold Irish cheese and Irish butter.
I love Kerrygold brand cheese and butter so good!
Nice
Thank you!
Just a curious question: why do you have to put it with the buttered side on top/bottom? I tried with ham and cheese but put the buttered sides on the inside and result was reasonable so maybe your way works better?
Because that is how you get the classic grilled cheese taste it should always be done on the outside of the bread. :) Next time try it this way and see the difference.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I will do that next time, thanks
@@joszandstra2044 You are welcome!
I need quick cooker like that tho
Air fryers are pretty handy
Why do you prefer butter over mayonnaise?
Because I like the taste of better more than mayo
try crunchy peanut butter with the cheese
Interesting
Just made one with miracle whip instead of butter never again, butter is the way to go
Try Mayo too. Mayo for this is definitely better than Miracle whip. But yeah, butter is my favorite.
mmmmmm~~~ with tomatoes😁 & pickles..
Sure!!
Interesting. Not used to the butter sides out.
That is the classic way to do grilled cheese here in the States.
Anyone ??? I’m new air fryer & I saw those paper inserts online - shouldn’t be using those ? Is it okay to use them or no ??
You can if you want, but it depends on what you are making. If you are making this I wouldn't use them, you want the air to go underneath.
Air fryer, George F, Breville, oven grille, fire…. Evolution of the cheese toastie is Darwinian
haha
Yummmy
Thank you!
Grea!
Thank you!
I'm never sure what power or setting to use
It depends on your air fryer. The kind I have is simple, it is just an air fryer. It has a setting for Temperature and a setting for time and that is it. If you have a combo, then there should be an "air fryer" setting. As well as a time and temp setting.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt ok then setting on mine would be air fry seems nothing turns out for me.
@@jeanluby4636 It sounds like you just need a bit more practice using it. Try this exact recipe, it is a very simple air fryer recipe.
Worth I think pointing out that real Cheddar comes from the village of Cheddar in Somerset England. OK it has become known as a process to make cheese and much copied around the world. But real Cheddar is something else and takes your tastebuds to a whole new level. The village is famous for its many caves in the Cheddar Gauge. The caves provide the perfect environment to mature the real Cheddar.
Yes, authentic Cheddar cheese is so yummy. I will sometimes buy imported cheddar, it is more expensive, but so worth it. One of my favorites is Aged Irish Cheddar, so yummy.
Irish Cheddar? Why not try Cheddar from Cheddar?
@@johnwilletts3984 If they have it where I buy cheese, then I will get it. I may have tried it before, a few times a year for special occasions we have a huge charcuterie board featuring all kinds of different cheeses. My brother is the one that puts it together, so I can't remember all the different kinds he puts. But he does do a few different kinds of cheddar cheese.
Mayo inside, butter outside add bacon and tomatoes. Enjoy ☺️.
That would definitely taste good!
i have a dream where I make grilled cheese sandwich inside an air fryer.
haha
