I found that medium heat at 5 minutes and flip at 2 and a half comes out prefect!

Did you use white bread or Wholemeal or rye bread?
My husband bought me the Ninja XL for Christmas. Since then I haven't used my stove. I just love my Ninja, I also love watching deferent recipes. I cooked a full meal and it only took me not more than 20 minutes. Love it.

This done it for me..I'm gonna go ahead and get this grill today.. They looked delicious!
Thanks James, I will try it looks delicious
I've had chicken thighs done in mayo (which is fabulous by the way), but not grilled cheese. Definately gonna give it a try! Thanks for the great idea. Never would've even thought to do grilled cheese on the grill!
Haven’t tried grilled cheese with the foodi but I definitely will now! They are a staple at my house. Recommend melting the butter then add in garlic powder & grated parmesan. Stir it up really well and spread over the bread. So so good!

Made the grilled cheese sandwiches. Loved them. Hubs didn't care for how crispy they were because he likes them to where his fingers are covered in butter and soft. Not sure how to make them on the grill that way, but I loved them. Thank you.

My Ninja took longer to warm up then the actual cooking of my grilled cheese sandwich! Never used mayonnaise before. It was delicious. Three seeded bread, Velveeta sliced cheese, and a few hamburger sliced pickles. Cooked three minutes, flipped and cooked another 2 1/2 min! ❤

I'll be honest with you, I love my Ninja grill. But wiht something like grilled cheese sandwich, you can do it with less time with just a non stick pan. But cool video with the grill marks.
Combining butter and mayonnaise makes the very best results for crispness and richness of flavor.
Amazing

Great video I just bought the ninja foodie XL grill so I’m watching a ton of videos to get ready for it when he comes on Monday! I found on the GrillGrates website they have a two sided grill grate/ Griddle that is made to fit this grill! I’m ordering it to do things like the grilled cheese, but also to do pizza on! And I prefer butter on my girl cheese not mayonnaise lol!

What is the GrillGrates website? I have had a Ninja as my main oven for over a year as I wanted something new & modern. I found it difficult as there is no heat or timer converter for ordinary recipes& the Ninja is much quicker. I am also 85 & find it hard to lift cooked dishes out as I cannot manage heavy items so I think I am going to buy a new air fryer with either a pull out basket or there are some that you slide your tray of food in like an ordinary oven. I nearly always air fried on the Ninja & they do both of these. I think the Ninja products are very well made. I am also a vegetarian so do not eat meat & everyone says that this grill is brilliant for meat but I have not experienced that.
You’re the freakin’ man James
I bought the ninga today and did step by step according to what you said, it came out perfect! Crispy. You can write me how to make broccoli without burning the leaves.👍🙏

This is a good demo. I have the newer XL Pro that I'm deciding whether I want to keep. Regarding mayo vs. butter, mayo always. Second, use three cheeses [one sharp cheddar, one swiss (sweet), and one creamy [American, Gruyere, or munster] and you'll have the best grilled cheese ever]. You can also switch cheeses to your liking Learned this one from Bobby Flay.

@@woytinek1 it’s not in my opinion - unless you’re planning on getting rid of your other appliances. Unlike the Ninja Foodie that pressure cooks, this one air fries and grills. It definitely doesn’t replace my Weber gas grill. Not by a long long long shot.

Hey James just tried your grilled cheese, 1word discribes it. FANTASTIC. Next time I think I’m going to pull at 4 to 4 1/2 minutes. Pulling at 5 is just to along. Did set of Smoke detectors, but one, it was the first time I used it and it wasn’t burned in. Detectors stopped after about 45 seconds. For the rest of the cook I used a small desk fan on high aimed at the detector. That suggestion someone posted. My smoke detectors also have a heat sensor in them.

if it set them off chances are you’ve got it too close to where you keep your appliances
I saw that when you opened the lid after cooking the butter side was more yellowish color. Then when you held them up to eat you pointed to the more yellow one as the mayo one. I think you had them backwards, lol.

I think when I make my grilled cheese I will combine mine - butter on the outside and the mayo on the inside.
Any tips on how to keep the inside on the top of the grill clean by the screen .. I clean my whole machine and the screen throughly after every use but I can’t seem to get those brown marks off

I was trying to do toast in the ninja grill but it didn't toast it & it was hard as nails but didn't brown . Also tried toasting a crumpet & that was worse than bread. A guy on here said he could do cheese sandwich but he used a toaster to brown the bread. I think that's cheating. The next guy coated the bread with mayonnaise or butter & put that side to the grill so will try it as it looked good.

Stupid question but why the mayo and butter on the OUTSIDE of the sandwich? I’d normally do that on the inside but perhaps there’s a reason and I’m being dense?!

Im from the uk and have one of the Nija foodi XL grills .......the one thing i do have to ask when it comes to griled sandwiches / toasties on YT channels from the U.S is .......WHY do you all use cheese slices as opposed to propper cheese? in these vids ...i know its cheaper ect BUT here in the UK we only use those on a burger for say a BBQ ....not on sandwiches ect even on toasties here in the uk we use propper cheese such as cheddar ect! ...but hey its cultural diffrences and i get it! try doing some toasties with propper cheese like cheddar or other ones and you WILL taste the difference instead of what i call plastic cheese slices! ...just my opinion by the way each to thier own as the saying goes! 😉😉
