Ingredients

4 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
splash hot sauce
4 slices sandwich bread
4 slices cheddar cheese medium or sharp

Instructions

In a small bowl, use a fork to mash together 4 tablespoons softened butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and a splash hot sauce until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of cheese on the non-buttered side of two of the slices of bread.
Top each of these with the remaining two slices of bread, with the buttered side facing out, to create two sandwiches.
Place the sandwiches in the air fryer and set the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the exterior of the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted in the center.
Remove and let cool for a moment before enjoying.
