Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ – ¾ cup pimento cheese
Instructions
- Butter the Bread: Spread the outsides of each slice of sandwich bread evenly with butter. This ensures a golden, crispy crust when air fried.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Evenly divide the pimento cheese between two slices of bread, then place the remaining slices on top to form sandwiches, ensuring the buttered sides face outwards.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F. Place the sandwiches inside the basket and air fry for 4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve Hot: Remove the sandwiches from the air fryer and serve immediately while warm and gooey for the best taste.
Notes
- Use sandwich bread of your choice; thicker slices will result in a heartier sandwich.
- Adjust the amount of pimento cheese to your preference for cheesiness and flavor.
- If your air fryer runs hot, check the sandwiches a minute or two earlier to avoid burning.
- For additional flavor, consider adding sliced tomatoes or a sprinkle of cayenne to the pimento cheese before assembling.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
