3 Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich – in the Air Fryer!

Nicole Hood — Sun, 30 Jan 2022 12:12:23 +0000

Grilled Cheese is hands down the most requested sandwich in our home. I jazz mine up with multiple cheeses, fancy thick bread (sourdough is my favorite), and salted butter.

Now that I am an Air Fryer owner (finally), I have mastered the ultimate air fryer grilled cheese and it was so good I may never cook it in a skillet again! Give it a try for lunch today.

I am loving my new Christmas gift: my Ninja Foodi! It has a lot of functions but my favorite is the air fryer!

How did I ever cook without one before?!

3 Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich in the Air Fryer

Makes 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

4 slices of sourdough bread
1 tbsp salted butter softened
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices muenster or monterey jack cheese
2 tbsp parmesan cheese shredded

Instructions

Butter all four slices of bread on one side only.
Place the two sliced cheeses on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread and cover with the other two slices of bread, buttered sides up.
Add the two sandwiches in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 375 degrees for 4 minutes.
Open air fryer, flip sandwiches, add 1 tbsp shredded parmesan to the top of each sandwich, spreading to cover.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until melted and golden.
Remove sandwiches, slice, and serve warm.

These sandwiches are so delicious and absolutely a cinch to make! The secret: salted butter and sourdough!

Butter all four slices of bread on one side only.

Open air fryer and flip sandwiches.

Add 1 tbsp shredded parmesan to the top of each sandwich, spreading to cover.

Shredded parmesan adds another delicious layer of flavor to this grilled cheese!

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until melted and golden.

I love crispy melted cheese on top of hot sandwiches.

Remove sandwiches, slice, and serve warm.

Lunch is served and in under 8 minutes!

Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Nicole Hood — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 16:18:34 +0000

What do you get when you combine two classic favorites- spinach and artichoke dip and grilled cheese?

You guessed it- this delicious cheesy sandwich!

This is my go to appetizer dip! It so easy to make and a crowd pleaser!

Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese

Makes 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

For the spinach artichoke dip:

14 oz can artichokes hearts chopped
10 oz box chopped spinach cooked and drained
1/2 yellow onion diced
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup Italian mixed cheese shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
2 cloves garlic pressed
1 tbsp olive oil
salt/pepper to taste

For the sandwiches:

butter for spreading
sliced potato bread or similar
1 cup spinach dip

Instructions

For the dip:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium.
Add diced onions and cook until softened and brown then add garlic, stirring for 30 seconds.
Turn heat to low and add spinach and artichoke hearts. Mix to combine.
Next add cream cheese and shredded Italian mixed cheese, stirring until melted.
Season with salt and pepper and pour into a greased baking dish (or I like to cook the dip and serve it in my cast iron skillet).
Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
*Optional: Turn oven to broil and brown the cheese on top to make a crust for about 1-2 minutes.

To assemble the sandwiches:

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and coat with non stick spray..
Butter one side of each slice of bread and place all four slices, butter side down, in the skillet.
Add a heaping 1/2 cup scoop onto two slices of bread and heat for a couple minutes until the bread is toasted.
Top with the other slice of toasted bread and remove to a plate.
Slice and serve warm.

Notes

You only need 1 cup of spinach dip for the sandwiches so save the rest for snack time or an appetizer the next day!

To prepare the dip:

In a skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium.
Add diced onions and cook until softened and brown then add garlic, stirring for 30 seconds.
Turn heat to low and add spinach and artichoke hearts. Mix to combine.

Next add cream cheese and shredded Italian mixed cheese.

Stir until melted and season with salt and pepper.

Pour into a greased baking dish (or I like to cook the dip and serve it in my cast iron skillet).

Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes.

Now time to make the sandwiches!

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and coat with non stick spray..

Butter one side of each slice of bread and place all four slices, butter side down, in the skillet.

Add a heaping 1/2 cup scoop onto two slices of bread and heat for a couple minutes until the bread is toasted.

Double Decker Egg in a Hole Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Nicole Hood — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 22:28:00 +0000

Here’s another messy but good recipe for y’all, especially for Grilled Cheese Month!

My husband created this impressive breakfast sandwich and calls it the Double Decker Egg in a Hold Grilled Cheese. It includes three slices of bread, a runny egg, and lots of melted cheese.

Be sure to bring your appetite and lots of napkins when you eat this mega sandwich!

Double Decker Egg in a Hole Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Makes 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

6 slices bread
2 large eggs
4 slices cheese we like Muenster and Swiss
non stick cooking spray or butter

Instructions

Using a mason jar lid or round circle cookie cutter cut out a circle in the center of two slices of bread. Reserve circle to make a mini sandwich for later!
Spray one side of the bread with cooking spray.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Place one slice of cut out bread in the skillet, non cooking sprayed (or buttered) side down.
Crack an egg into the cut out hole of the bread.
Cook for 2-3 minutes (or until desired egg doneness). I like the whites to be cooked but the yolk still runny.
Gently flip the bread over and add a slice of cheese.
Cook enough to toast the other side of the bread and melt cheese.
Remove to a plate and respray skillet.
Add another whole slice of bread and add a slice of cheese on top. Toast for a minute to melt the cheese.
Lay egg in a hole bread slice on top of the bread with the melted cheese.
Top with another slice of bread.
Spray the top of the bread with cooking spray and gently flip the sandwich to toast the bread.
Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining bread.
Serve warm with extra napkins!

Crack an egg into the cut out hole of the bread.

Cook for 2-3 minutes (or until desired egg doneness).

I like the whites to be cooked but the yolk still runny.

Any sliced cheese will work.

I like flavorful cheeses that melt well like Swiss, Cheddar, and Muenster.

Gently flip the bread over and add a slice of cheese.

Cook enough to toast the other side of the bread and melt cheese.

Remove to a plate and respray skillet.

Add another whole slice of bread and add a slice of cheese on top.

Toast for a minute to melt the cheese.

Lay egg in a hole bread slice on top of the bread with the melted cheese.

Top with another slice of bread.

Spray the top of the bread with cooking spray and gently

flip the sandwich to toast the bread.

Perfectly golden brown and crunchy!

Don’t forget to toast the bread cut outs too

and make a mini sandwich for your little ones!

Gooey Grilled Cheese and Soup is my favorite lunch combo!

Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining bread.

If you like your egg runny like me be sure to serve with extra napkins!

Inside Out Grilled Cheese Sliders

Nicole Hood — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 04:30:00 +0000

Woohoo! It’s National Grilled Cheese Month!

And who doesn’t love this comfort food classic, right?

Today I am sharing with you a cheesy, gooey, crunchy, and delicious take on a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s a mini version on inside out Hawaiian Sweet Rolls. I saw this recipe originally on The Country Cook and decided to make my own version at home. It includes a special ingredient to really crisp up the crust.

Inside Out Grilled Cheese Sliders

Ingredients

1 12- pack King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
4-6 slices deli turkey or ham
5 slices Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Duke's mayonnaise

Instructions

Cut across all the rolls lengthwise. Just make one long even cut.
Then flip the rolls inside out. The outsides of the rolls are now going to be your insides!
Start by placing the sliced meat down on top of the rolls.
Now top with the sliced cheese.
Gently place the other half of the rolls on top.
Spread the outside of this bread layer with an even but generous layer of mayonnaise.
Start heating up your large pan or griddle on medium-high heat.
Once your skillet has heated up, place entire sandwich (very carefully) mayonnaise-side down onto the skillet.
Then spread mayonnaise on the side that is now on top.
Once the rolls have started to turn golden brown, flip the whole thing over.
Allow the opposite side to brown and the cheese to finish melting.
Place the entire sandwich onto a large plate and slice and serve!

Notes

Adapted from: http://www.thecountrycook.net

Four ingredients for the perfect grilled cheese sliders!

Cut across all the rolls lengthwise. Just make one long even cut.

Then flip the rolls inside out.

Start by placing the sliced meat on top of the rolls.

Now top with the sliced cheese.

Gently place the other half of the rolls on top.

Spread the outside of this bread layer with an even but generous layer of mayonnaise.

Place entire sandwich (very carefully) mayonnaise-side down onto the skillet or griddle.

I used a griddle one time and a grill pan another. Both worked well.

I like the look of the grilled sandwiches better (darker with grill marks) but the griddle was a lot easier to use, keeping the sandwiches intact and cooking them more evenly.

Spread mayonnaise on the side that is now on top.

Once the rolls have started to turn golden brown, flip the whole thing over.

Allow the opposite side to brown and the cheese to finish melting.

Place the entire sandwich onto a large plate and slice and serve!

We have had these for picnics and a quick lunch at home.

Ava likes to dip hers in honey mustard but I think the gooey cheesy

and smoked turkey are delish on their own!

Happy Grilled Cheese Month!
