Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Mix cheddar, cream cheese, pimentos, mayo, garlic powder, and cayenne until combined.
- 2
Spread pimento cheese generously on 2 bread slices. Top with remaining slices.
- 3
Butter the outsides of each sandwich.
- 4
Air fry at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cheese is melty.
- 5
Cut diagonally and serve immediately.
Tip: Room temperature cream cheese mixes much easier. The pimento cheese also works great as a dip or spread. Use thick-cut bread so it holds up to the heavy filling. Butter the outside, not the inside.
