This is not your mom or grandma’s grilled cheese!

This stacked-high pulled pork sandwich was not only made to impress but also for a big appetite and meant to leave you oh-so satisfied!

Grab your air fryer and the ingredients and let’s get cooking.

Ingredients needed to make Grilled Cheese with Pulled Pork

Bread: I used two slices of the Classic White Miche Bread from Panera Bread for this recipe. You can use any thick-cut bread like Texas toast if you don’t have a Panera.

Butter: An essential ingredient to achieve the perfect bite, crispiness, and flavor: 2 tbsp Butter.

Cheese: What’s grilled cheese without cheese? To make this incredible—and large—sandwich, you will need 2 oz Shredded Gouda Cheese and 2 oz Havarti.

Meat: Stack it high! Put 8 oz of leftover pulled pork to use.

Toppings: Sauce it up with BBQ Sauce and top it off with 1/4 cup of my classic coleslaw.

How to Make Air Fryer Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese

• Slice and Toast. Slice the classic white Miche bread into 1-inch thick slices and butter on one side of each slice. Place the bread in the air fryer, butter side up, and toast for about 5 minutes at 375 degrees F. until golden brown.
• Warm up the pulled pork. While the bread is toasting, heat up your leftover pulled pork in a pan with BBQ sauce until warm and set aside.
• Add Cheese. Once the bread is toasted, flip the bread over and top one side with Havarti and the other with smoked gouda. Place back in the air fryer for about 3 minutes at 375 degrees F until melted.
• Top with Coleslaw. Top the grilled cheese with coleslaw on one side and the BBQ pulled pork on the other. Assemble the sandwich and slice it in half.
• Serve. Serve immediately to enjoy it hot and perfectly melty. Enjoy!!

What Kind of Cheese goes Best with Pork?

I look for a cheese that melts perfectly into the bread when making grilled cheese. However, many other kinds of cheese, like blue cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, gruyère, and goat cheese, pair well with pork.
