Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese (about 1 oz per slice)
- 2 slices of mozzarella cheese (about 1 oz per slice)
- 1 slice of gouda cheese (about 1 oz)
Instructions
- Preparing Your Bread with Parmesan Butter Spread: Mix softened butter with grated Parmesan and a pinch of garlic powder. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice. This is crucial for achieving that golden-brown Starbucks cheese selection signature crunch.
- Layering the Cheese: On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer slices of cheddar, mozzarella, and gouda. This cheese layering technique ensures a melt that’s both creamy and flavorful, mimicking the Starbucks grilled cheese experience.
- Air Frying to Perfection: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F. Place the sandwich, butter side out, in the basket. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. The air fryer settings are key to cooking grilled cheese in an air fryer without burning.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve hot with a side of tomato soup or your favorite dipping sauce. Grilled cheese pairing with a soup turns this into a comforting Starbucks meal idea.
Notes
Watch closely as cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model. Adjust the cooking grilled cheese in an air fryer time as needed for that perfect crispiness.
