Airfryer Chopped Cheese

Air Fryer Chopped Cheese is the easiest way to make this classic New York-style sandwich at home. Juicy seasoned beef, melted cheese, and toasted buns come together for the ultimate comfort food.

What is Chopped Cheese?

 

Chopped cheese is a classic sandwich from New York City, specifically bodegas in Harlem and The Bronx. It’s made by cooking ground beef on a griddle, chopping it up with seasonings, melting cheese over the top, and serving it on a hero roll or a soft bun with lettuce, tomato, and condiments like mayo or ketchup.

 

 

What Ingredients Do I Need For a Chopped Cheese?

 

  • Ground beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
  • American cheese (or cheddar)
  • Sub rolls, brioche buns, or hero bread
  • Seasonings of choice (like Cajun or Worcestershire sauce)
  • Lettuce, tomato, and mayo (optional but classic!)

 

How to Make Chopped Cheese in the Air Fryer

 

Instead of a griddle, you can use a pan or an air fryer to make this recipe super easy and accessible for all. You can choose to cook the beef mince in the air fryer, or you can add the finished rolls to the air fryer so that the bread goes nice and crispy and the cheese melts.
