Pro Tips for the Best Results

Cut to Fit Small Air Fryers

Detroit-style trays are deep and rectangular—slice in half for basket-style fryers.

Watch the Cheese Closely

The edges caramelize fast. Check frequently in the last few minutes to avoid burning.

Transfer to a Rack for Extra Bottom Crisp

If not using the tray, placing directly on a mesh rack improves crust texture.

Add a Sprinkle of Seasoning After Cooking

Try Italian seasoning, garlic salt, or chili flakes for a boost of flavor.
