Transfer to the Air Fryer
Next, pour the mac and cheese mixture into a small oven-safe dish or an air fryer pan lined with parchment paper. Ensure the mixture is spread out evenly for consistent cooking.
Add the Toppings
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the mac and cheese. If you prefer a crunchy texture, add breadcrumbs as well.
Cooking Instructions
Air Fry for Perfect Texture
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the mac and cheese for 10 to 12 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling with deliciousness.
Let It Rest
After cooking, allow the dish to sit for two to three minutes. This resting period will help the mac and cheese thicken and become creamier, enhancing the overall texture.
