Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread hearty and flavorful base
- 4 slices cheddar cheese or substitute with American, Gruyere, or Gouda
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise adds creaminess and golden crust
- 1 tablespoon butter softened, for extra richness and flavor
Instructions
- Start by laying out your slices of sourdough bread on a clean cutting board.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and softened butter. Mix until well blended.
- Spread the mayonnaise-butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices of cheese between two slices of bread, ensuring the spread side is facing out.

- Carefully flip the sandwich over using a spatula. Continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Remove the sandwich from the air fryer. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve hot and enjoy every gooey, cheesy bite!
Notes
- You can substitute different cheeses like Gruyere or Gouda for variety.
- Preheat the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispy crust.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat in air fryer for best results.
