Cook for 6 minutes, open the air fryer and flip the patty to the other side and cook for another 4-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
When they have cooked to your desired doneness, open the air fryer and add a slice of cheese onto each patty. Close the air fryer and let the cheese melt for an additional minute.
