In our home, we love grilled cheese! We make it at lunch or pair it with a delicious bowl of tomato soup for dinner.

I can now make my whole family Air Fryer Grilled cheese sandwiches that are cooked to perfection every time, all at the same time! One of our favorite recipes is this Air Fryer Tomato grilled cheese.
