This is an updated version of the grilled cheese sandwich Ree enjoyed as a child. The pesto mayo is a new addition, but the biggest difference is using the air fryer to cook the sandwich. A grilled cheese cooked in a skillet often results in crisp browned bread but an unmelted center. The air fryer melts the cheese inside and toasts the bread perfectly.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and pesto until well combined.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the pesto mayo on each slice of Texas toast. To the bottom slice of each sandwich, layer on a slice of Cheddar, then a slice of mozzarella, followed by a second slice of Cheddar. Top each with the second slice of bread, spread-side down. Spread the remaining mayo mix on the outside of both sandwiches, top and bottom.
Air-fry both, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes.
Slice in half and serve.
