Take-out Tuesday, Grilled Cheese Sandwich “Chips” and Air Fryer Grilled Ham & Swiss
One of my food focuses this month is grilled cheese sandwiches
I think I could live on grilled cheese sandwiches,
they are such perfect comfort food
Grilled cheese sandwiches can be as simple as bread, butter and cheese
Or you can fill them with endless mouthwatering combinations!
Here’s a fun twist on grilled cheese,
grilled cheese “chips!”
Just cheese, bread and butter
Cut crusts off bread and assemble sandwiches
with one slice of cheese in between 2 slices of bread
Smash bread down with a rolling pin after building sandwiches
Butter both sides and cut into triangles
Bake sandwiches for 10 minutes, turn them over
Return to oven and bake 5-10 more minutes
Time will vary because of different ovens, bread type used
and personal preference
You might want to experiment with a few
to figure out the best time for yours
Remember, these are called chips, so they’re a little crunchy
Decrease baking time if you want a softer result
The cheese will ooze out a little, forming little bites of frico along the edges
Serve as a snack, dip into soup, enjoy with a salad,
or use as a dipper in a variety of dips, hot or cold
Here are a few more grilled cheese combos you might want to try
It’s perfect for Fall full of sweet apples and cranberries
with white Cheddar and bacon
You can make it with tortillas
or bread like a traditional grilled cheese
One of my favorite combos is fig jam, pears, bacon, & bleu cheese
Add some Gouda to make it extra cheesy or
skip the bleu if you’re not a fan,
and just use a flavorful Gouda or White Cheddar
My current go to favorite grilled cheese sandwich
is made in my Air Fryer
with ham, Swiss cheese, and a tangy spread
I vary the spread between Maple Bacon Aioli,
tangy Sweet Hot mustard, and Bourbon Bacon jam
Stonewall Kitchen condiments are available in higher end grocery stores

Spread one piece of bread with condiment of choice
then layer ham, and then cheese on top
Top with another slice of bread,
and butter both sides of the sandwich
Cook sandwich in the air fryer or in a skillet
My air fryer has racks instead of a basket
so you don’t need to flip the sandwich
I set the fryer at 350 degrees for 6 minutes
Increase time if you want more browning or make adjustments for your air fryer
The sandwich pictured is lightly toasted and cheese is melty
I could have cooked it several minutes longer but I was hungry 😂

I am going to make tomato soup and use your recipe for “chips” for soup croutons. Thanks Jenna.
Thank you Bernadette, I hope you enjoy!
I need this with a big bowl of chili or tomato basil soup.
Yum!
Yes!
Jenna, I am also a big fan of grilled cheese sandwiches and could eat them at least once a week. I especially love them with chili or tomato soup. I am going to try the “chips” this weekend.
It is a cool start to a Tuesday, but I love it!
Thanks Pam, they make great dippers!
Crusty bread and oozing cheese…I love the combination and would devour the whole plate of sandwich chips!
Thanks Angie!
Air fryer? That’s so cool. I didn’t know sandwiches could go in there! Love all your grilled cheese ideas.
Thanks Jessica, and yes the new air fryers can do so many cool things!
Jenna, I agree that grilled cheese sandwiches are the perfect comfort food. This recipe turns them into the perfect snack or appetizer. Happy Tuesday!
Thank you Shannon, it’s hard to resist a grilled cheese sandwich in any form!
My mind is being blown at this very second. How did I never think to flatten and crisp this sandwich in the oven? I love grilled cheese. I love chips. It all makes sense. If you could work Harry Connick Jr. in there somewhere, I’d be in trifecta heaven.
ha ha, I wish!
As a fan of unique grilled cheese sandwiches this appetizer recipe is one, I will try in the very near future!
A fun twist, thanks Mary!
I can even see them sliced a little smaller to pop into the mouth for football games:@)
Yep, perfect game day nibbles!
Those look delicious. I’d take those to Cork Poppers but I’m betting they are best served/dipped warm. But oh, who doesn’t love grilled cheese in any of its options!
Thinking of you and hoping your ocean home is safe. Every time I see a tornado hit the FL gulf, I cringe for you.
Thanks Jeanie, they are good room temperature with a hot dip!
Thank you Jeanie, hurricane season isn’t for sissies, we are safe this time, but prayers and prayers and prayers for everyone being impacted by this deadly storm…
Mmmmm both of these recipes sound like perfect comfort food, Jenna. I really need some of those Stonewall Jackson condiments.
Stonewall Kitchen has so many incredible condiments, they are pricey but oh so worth it!
Such great, delicious ideas. Is there anything better than melted cheese? (well, besides bacon and chocolate–and not together).🙃
It is hard to resist grilled cheese isn’t it!
So many tasty grilled cheese versions Jenna! ♥
Thanks Mary 🙂
