Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Spatula
  • Butter Knife
  • Cutting Board

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.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, place the sandwich in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 4-5 minutes.
  • 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.
