# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 - 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
02 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 - 1 garlic clove, minced
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
06 - 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
07 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
→ Sandwich
08 - 4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
09 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or softened butter for spreading
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Set the air fryer to 375°F and preheat for 3 minutes.
02 - Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped broccoli; sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a mixing bowl, blend the sautéed broccoli mixture with cream cheese and shredded cheddar until fully incorporated.
04 - Arrange bread slices and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or butter on one side of each slice. Evenly distribute the broccoli-cheddar filling on the unbuttered side of two slices and top with the remaining slices, buttered side facing outward.
05 - Place the assembled sandwiches in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 4 to 5 minutes per side, flipping halfway through, until bread is golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.
06 - Allow sandwiches to cool briefly before slicing and serving.
