Still just as crispy as the one with mayo, but WAY more flavor! The only downside is that it made the sandwich a lot more greasy. It tasted great but the oiliness was a little off-putting

    Isn’t this technically a melt since you didn’t grill (griddle) it?

      It tasted like a regular grilled cheese to me, just crispier on the outside.

      I’m trying all of these in the air fryer first because I just got this air fryer about a month ago and I’m trying different things with it. I may make some more posts with other cooking methods though

        Oh brother I ain’t knocking it. There was a great tirade posted by some dide in a grilled cheese forum that went OFF because most people posted “melts” vs grilled cheese…it was quite passionate and hilarious.

        Since i don’t have an air fryer I have 2 requests:

        Caprese with tomato, mozz & basil

        Mayo as the oil

        Enjoy the results!

          I made a post about using mayo as the oil just yesterday! I will see about the caprese salad version next time I go to the store lol

      Sure! I did 8 minutes at 370F flipping it halfway through, then to really crisp it up I flipped it one more time and did 2 more minutes at 400F

    Did you grill both sides of the bread? If you didn’t, I wonder if that could reduce the greasiness by helping more of the fat char.

      No, I just grilled the outside. That’s just how I’ve always made grilled cheese even when I’m just using a frying pan. I suppose I could try grilling both sides, but wouldn’t that require putting butter on both sides? That seems like a lot of extra fat
