I’ve been using small pieces of parchment paper under things - great for turning and easy cleanup ✌🏽
Yeah parchment paper is awesome in the air fryer
Great video Matt. Food trends come and go but you just can’t beat the simplicity and comfort of a grilled cheese sandwich.
Thank you!! Agreed! Simple grilled cheese is one of my favorites!!
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 :)
You are very welcome, Jean!! I haven't tried Scottish cheddar, but I really love KerriGold Irish cheddar, so yummy!
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.
F*ck mayo. Not needed at all. That just ruins a good grilled cheese
@@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.
bro all u did was copy what a youtube video said dont try be smart rn
I offered a better way to make the sandwich. Besides being a dick, what have you offered? @@xwaay12
@@colejarvis666nonsense! 😂
I love how the toast goes really crisp and crunchy in the air fryer. 😛
Yeah, it is awesome!!
Another air fryer recipe great for that morning breakfast. Love it and wowee. Thanks Matt for the share and am doing it now.
Thank you! You are welcome!
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. 😋
Awesome!
Good in a salad too. Ty
I found that inserting toothpicks at and angle in 2 different positions in the upside slice of bread helps with the sliding
nice!
Matt, thanks for posting this easy recipe. Can't wait to try it in my new AF!
You are very welcome!
Looks yummy. I love grilled cheese sandwich. Thank you for sharing
Awesome!! You are very welcome. :) I love grilled cheese as well!
This is fantastic. Use my air fryer daily and never thought about this.
Thank you!! :) Yeah give it a try sometime, and let me know what you think. :) :)
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 🇿🇦
hahaha you are welcome!! :)
Well said.
Sliced Muenster with shredded Colby Jack ! 😋 yum !
Yummy!! I love cheese. Those are both yummy as well.
This was phenomenal thank you
Thank you and you are welcome!
looks fantastic
Thanks!!!
Great video THANKS for sharing
Thanks!! You are welcome!
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.
Thanks! You are welcome!
nicely done!!
Thank you!
For sure I will try this after next shopping day..no muss no fuss!❤
Awesome!!
Very nice!!
Thank you!
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 :)
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!!
I just love watching you!!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
Thanks Matt 😊
You are very welcome!!
Real nice and quick for a child's lunch
Yes!
I love your pages.I have a air fryer an my book didn’t have your pages with the receipts.I’m so proud an you or so good at explaining how toues it.😊🎃
Thank you!! :)
Thank you 😊
You are welcome, Lisa!
Grilled cheese is great with any soup or any food. I love grill cheese 🧀 sandwiches. 😁
Yes!! So good with any soup. I love grilled cheese sandwiches as well.
Was just thinking about toast in the airfryer. Thank you
Welcome!!
I like to sprinkle a little diced onion on top of the cheese. Its delicious.
Nice!
This is a delicious kind of grilled cheese sandwich
Thanks!
I make a lot of ham and smoked turkey cheese sandwiches to go with my chili for lunch. Air Fryer is pretty handy.
Awesome!
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! :)
This is helpful, thanks I just wonder how my school made this grilled cheese
You are welcome!
mmmm looks good!
Thank you!!
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 🤤👍😀🇦🇺
Yep definitely pros and cons with the air fryer. :)
That’s my favorite 🤩
Awesome!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Godbless Matt
@@thelmabuenaventura1406 You too!
i have a steam oven which is basically bigger version of air fryer, also work, thank you!
You are welcome!!
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.
Nice!
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.
Lots of fun options to try!
OMG first time i ever tried after this show was Delicious GREAT thank you so much from now on that's the i
Only way thanks !!😃😊
You are so very welcome! Glad you liked it!
You are one of the very few I’ve heard say that American Cheese is fake. You are 100% right! I won’t use it. Thank you!!!
hahaha you are welcome! Yeah, I just don't like it very much, I don't care if it melts really well haha.
I just preheat Airfryer to 400 while spreading butter on the bread and cutting cheese.
Then cook sandwiches for 2 minutes per side.
Lots of ways to do it. :)
Nice
Thank you!
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
@@wendyhannan2454 You are welcome! Yeah, air fryers are awesome, I use mine all the time.
I sometimes call American Cheese-rubber cheese
"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
Mmmm hmmm, yummy yum
Thank you!!
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.
For a good breakfast option, add bacon and halloumi filling. Works well in a panini.
Yes!
waw best chef
Thanks!
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.
Definitely try it sometime. Most grilled cheese recipes have the butter or even mayo on the outside.
@@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.
@@jamesgoacher1606 Awesome!
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
Ah you turn yours
Yes turn it.
This is nice with some HP sauce on
Yes!
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!
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.
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!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Always a pleasure to get a reply. Thanks.
@@palco22 You are welcome!!
Grea!
Thank you!
I make these for lunch but add sliced tomatoes for a much better flavour and moister sandwich
Nice! Yes tomato and cheese is a great combination!
Looks delicious. What kind of Tillamook cheese did you use??
Thanks! Standard Tillamook mild cheddar, my favorite. :)
Greetings from India🇮🇳 🙏
Hello! Thanks for watching in India. :)
Yummmy
Thank you!
mmmmmm~~~ with tomatoes😁 & pickles..
Sure!!
Will the butter from the lower slice not drip through the holes into the lower compartment? That would be a waste.
No it doesn't drip. It is only a lightly spread of butter.
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!
Kerrygold Irish cheese and Irish butter.
I love Kerrygold brand cheese and butter so good!
Do you use paper liners
No not for these
try crunchy peanut butter with the cheese
Interesting
Do you preheat air fryer before use?
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.
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.
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!
hahahaha really??? That is so awesome!! How do you know my brother Jared?
@@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
@@lindseyredding9198 Ahh!! Yes I know Carl! :)
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 😮
Air fryer, George F, Breville, oven grille, fire…. Evolution of the cheese toastie is Darwinian
haha
I need quick cooker like that tho
Air fryers are pretty handy
Is it set on air fry? Because my air fryer has settings for bake. etc.
Use the air fry setting if you have multiple settings. Mine is only an air fryer so it doesn't have different settings.
@@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 !
@@rodrigomarino9616 You select Air Fry if you have that setting.
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
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.
👏👏👏
Thank you!
Can you use whole bread slices instead?
Hi Emma, yes you can use whatever kind of bread that you like.
When I hear 'Grilled Cheese Sandwich' I hear 'Cheese on Toast', which I love and eat often. Buttering bread on the wrong side is difficult for me cos it makes the 'Grilled' part nearer to 'Fried' (which I also like now and then). I am having a cultural problem with this but I may give it a try. Maybe.
hahaha yeah definitely will differ depending on where in the world you live. :) But try it like this sometime and see if you like it. The butter on the outside creates and awesome flavor for the bread. This is how we always do it in the States regardless if we use an air fryer or just in a skillet or grill pan on the stovetop. Of course some people use Mayo instead of butter.
@@inthekitchenwithmattI’m so confused about people using mayo on a grilled cheese sandwich 🤷🏼♀️
I’m an Aussie & use butter (lots of butter) 😋
@@letz-b-reel810 Honestly, I had never tried it until a few years ago when someone mentioned it on my other Grilled Cheese video. I did try it, definitely still like butter better. I am a butter addict. haha. But Mayo does work pretty well and I can see why people like using it.
❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Interesting. Not used to the butter sides out.
That is the classic way to do grilled cheese here in the States.
Good old ham cheese and irish chedder your on the ball. Load it up
Bacon is amazing on this too. Just did one with bacon and grilled onions with cheese, so tasty.
Do you like air fryer grilled cheese better or do you like making grilled cheese on the griddle better?
I like them both, I don't really like one over the other any better.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Do you have a griddle?
@@maxduong4537 I have several different styles of griddles but not a large electric griddle because I live by myself, and I just don't make that much stuff regularly to need one. I use my George Forman or griddle pan or standard skillet. I have used them many many times, just don't own one at the moment.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I’ve seen several French Toast videos of yours & I always do French Toast & grilled cheese on my griddle.
I just Anakin Skywalker 'd mine lmao
haha
Wow I just got the munchies. liked this video.
Thanks!
Why do you prefer butter over mayonnaise?
Because I like the taste of better more than mayo
Grilled cheese sandwich is my favorite with tomato soup, what do you eat your grilled cheese sandwich with?
Yeah grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing. I like to eat them with tomato soup as well, or sometimes, I dip them in a little ranch dressing.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Matt I would have to try the ranch dressing with the grilled cheese sandwich and I pray your mom will have a happy blessed mother's day
@@daisyrochelle5656 Thank you! Yours too. :)
Butter tastes better and healthier than mayo. Thanks
I definitely like butter better!
I've used veg oil and olive oil instead of butter with amazing taste results!
Sent comment pity I didn’t check spelling but you get the drift. 😂
No worries!! :)
I'm really not trolling but a video how to make a cheese toastie in an air fryer? Looked nice though and presenter comes across as a nice guy
Thank you!! You must be from the UK? I have only heard the term a few times, since we call it grilled cheese sandwich, which is funny because we rarely cook them on a grill haha. Cheese toastie is a great name for them!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yes from Wales, UK. Did enjoy your video, and have subbed. You come across great!
@@taffymackem2596 Thank you!! And awesome!
good to know, but I mean it's beyond easier and faster in a frying pan still
Well that would depend on your stovetop. If you have gas, then I would agree, but if your burner is electric, then no, it isn't faster. And the air fryer version tastes a little different, and a good option, if your burner isn't working, or if you live in a small flat without an oven/stovetop, etc.
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.
I gave up. When my sandwich is in the air fryer, it flies all over the place. Not sure how your sandwich stays in tact in the air fryer.
hmm what air fryer do you have? I never have that problem and I have used 3 different air fryers. If your air fryer has a fan setting, trying turning the fan down.
Mine flies around too, lol! It opens and cheese gets all over the drawer. I have the Ninja Foodie Dual Drawer.
@@tracyweber3683 Try using a lower fan setting if you have one.
In England we call this fryed bread cheese sandwich
Cool!
I'm English and I've never heard it called fried bread cheese sandwich. It's cheese on toast!
Why didn’t you preheat?
no need with that air fryer. You don't always need to preheat anyways, but if you do the food doesn't have to be in the air fryer as long, but only by a few minutes.
Butter side down? You had butter side up towards you.
The first slice that goes down on the actual air fryer is butter side down, you want the buttered side actually touching the air fryer. The top slice is butter side up.
I think a frying pan 🤔...does the job and better
Have you actually tried an air fryer for this? or are you just saying that? I do like them both ways.
