🔥 Air Fryer Cheeseburger Grilled Cheese (a.k.a. Patty Melt Heaven)
Crispy outside, juicy beef + melty cheese inside. Super easy, zero mess.
🧾 Ingredients (4 sandwiches)
8 slices sandwich bread
4 small beef patties (thin, cooked)
6–8 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or a mix)
Soft butter or mayo (for spreading)
Salt & black pepper
Optional extras: caramelized onions, garlic powder, mustard
👨🍳 Instructions
Cook the patties
Season beef with salt & pepper. Cook in a pan or air fryer until done. Set aside.
Assemble sandwiches
Butter (or mayo) one side of each bread slice.
Flip over: add cheese → beef patty → more cheese.
Top with another slice of bread (buttered side out).
Air fry
Preheat air fryer to 190°C / 375°F.
Line basket with parchment paper.
Place sandwiches in a single layer.
Air fry 4–5 minutes, flip, then 3–5 minutes more until golden and melty.
Rest & serve
Let sit 1 minute, slice, and enjoy that cheese pull 😍
🔥 Pro Tips
Mayo crisps better than butter 😉
Add caramelized onions for classic patty melt vibes
Press lightly after flipping for extra crunch
No air fryer? Cook low & slow in a skillet
