Give your Thanksgiving leftovers a delicious makeover with this Leftover Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Elevate the comfort of mac and cheese by transforming it into a crispy, cheesy delight between slices of buttery bread. This recipe cleverly repurposes chilled macaroni and cheese into a golden-brown masterpiece with the help of your air fryer.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups leftover macaroni and cheese, chilled and set
  • 4 slices of bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)

Instructions:

  • Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Take two slices of bread and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice.
  • Add Leftover Mac and Cheese:
    • On the unbuttered side of one slice, place a generous layer of chilled leftover macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Top with Another Slice:
    • Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards, creating a sandwich.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • Air Fry the Sandwich:
    • Place the assembled sandwich in the EaZy MealZ Air Crisper Basket, and air fry for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve:
    • Once the sandwich is golden and crispy, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it diagonally and serve hot.
  • Optional:
    • Enhance the experience by dipping the sandwich into your favorite sauce, like marinara or ranch.
