Instructions
- Lay out 4 slices sourdough bread and 4 slices cheese.
- On two of the bread slices, place 2 slices of cheese on each. Top each with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.
- In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon softened butter until blended.
- Spread the mayonnaise‑butter mixture evenly on the outside of each slice of bread so all exterior surfaces of both sandwiches are coated.
- Place the sandwiches in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not stack). Air fry at 360°F for 5 minutes. Carefully flip each sandwich and air fry an additional 5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove sandwiches from the air fryer and let rest briefly before serving.
