Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit for about five minutes.

Butter the outsides of the bread slices with room temperature butter.

Assemble the sandwich with cheese in the middle and butter sides on the outside.

If using classic sandwich bread, secure the sandwich with a toothpick to prevent it from flying around in the air fryer.

Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side.

Open the air fryer, flip the sandwich over, and air fry for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side.

Remove the sandwich from the air fryer, take out the toothpick, and slice it through the middle.
