Best Air Fryer Grilled Cheese - So Crispy
You haven't lived until you try a Texas Toast Grilled Cheese in the Air Fryer! This is one of my favorite Air Fryer Recipes. Air Fryers are the best way to cook the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. So incredibly crispy on the outside and the melted cheese on the inside is amazing! Once you try it, you will never make it any other way.
Great. We loved it.

I have a secret... What makes this air fryer grilled cheese so incredibly delicious is the French fry seasoning on the outside. You will never make another grilled cheese without this topping!

Hi, I'm not sure if I missed it, but what's the recipe for the Fry Seasoning? Is it just Parm and garlic powder? Thanks, this sounds delicious!
