Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 4 slices of bread (your choice of bread, but Italian or sourdough works well)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 4-6 fresh basil leaves<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 4-6 slices of ripe tomato<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 4-6 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons of pesto sauce<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Olive oil or cooking spray<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Preheat your air fryer to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C) for a few minutes.<\/em><\/li>\n
    2. Spread pesto sauce on one side of each slice of bread.<\/em><\/li>\n
    3. Layer the fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, and basil leaves on top of the pesto sauce on two slices of bread.<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. Place the remaining slices of bread, pesto side down, on top of the sandwich fillings.<\/em><\/li>\n
    5. Lightly brush or spray the outer sides of the sandwich with olive oil or cooking spray. This will help give the sandwich a crispy texture.<\/em><\/li>\n
    6. Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this one at a time if your air fryer is small.<\/em><\/li>\n
    7. Cook the sandwich in the air fryer for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.<\/em><\/li>\n
    8. Check on the sandwich occasionally to prevent burning, and flip it halfway through the cooking time if desired.<\/em><\/li>\n
    9. Once the sandwich is cooked to your liking, carefully remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute or two.<\/em><\/li>\n
    10. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or into smaller pieces for serving, if desired.<\/em><\/li>\n
