Ingredients

Pimento Cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup diced pimentos, drained
2 tbsp mayo
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
Sandwich
4 slices sourdough bread
2 tbsp butter, softened

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix cheddar, cream cheese, pimentos, mayo, garlic powder, and cayenne until combined.

  2. 2

    Spread pimento cheese generously on 2 bread slices. Top with remaining slices.

  3. 3

    Butter the outsides of each sandwich.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cheese is melty.

  5. 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.
