How To Make Cheeseburgers In The Air Fryer
You're going to love how simple air fryer cheese burgers are!
Step One - flatten the patties
- Okay, you want these burgers to cook quickly, so squash the shop bought burger patties between your hands so they're a little flatter.
Step Two - put the burgers in the air fryer basket
- Then arrange the air fryer hamburger patties into the air fryer basket, you need them to be in a single layer with no overlapping.
Step Three - air fry the cheeseburger patties
- Air fry on 200C/400F for around 10 minutes (or until they're cooked through - check using a digital meat thermometer)
- For the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the cheese slices to the top of the burgers so it melts deliciously
Step Four
- Once the air fryer cheeseburgers are fully cooked through to perfection and the cheese melted on top, serve the burgers on the burger buns with your favourite toppings. We usually go for mayo, Iceberg lettuce, tomato, burger pickles, fried onions, tomato ketchup and mustard.
