This grilled cheese skips the skillet in favor of an air fryer, which crisps the buttered bread evenly while the cheese melts around smoky bacon and cool avocado slices. It makes a quick lunch or weeknight dinner, with a crunchy crust and a rich, creamy center.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp
- 1 avocado, pitted and sliced
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Method
-
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Butter one side of each bread slice and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder.
-
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, layer two slices of cheddar, the bacon, and the avocado slices. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Top with the remaining cheddar slices and the second bread slices, buttered side facing out, to form two sandwiches.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 3 minutes.
-
Place the sandwiches in the air fryer basket and cook until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes per side, flipping once halfway through.
-
Remove from the air fryer, slice in half, and serve warm.
