Air Fryer Mushroom Grilled Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make variation of the classic grilled cheese sandwich, with the added goodness of sautéed mushrooms. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (your choice of bread, but a sturdy bread like sourdough works best)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms work well)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions (if using) to the skillet and sauté until they are tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Take two slices of bread and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice. Place the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
- Divide the sautéed mushrooms evenly and spread them over the unbuttered side of one slice of bread. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mushrooms.
- Take the other slice of bread and place it on top of the cheese, with the buttered side facing up.
- Carefully transfer the assembled sandwich to the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Carefully remove the sandwich from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute or two before cutting it in half.
- Repeat the process with the remaining two slices of bread and the remaining ingredients to make the second sandwich.
- Serve your air fryer mushroom grilled cheese warm and enjoy!
