Prep:5 mCook:10 mReady:15 m

Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C).
Spread one side of each bread slice lightly with mayonnaise. Lay 2 slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, and evenly spread with pimento cheese; top with tomato slices. Sprinkle with basil and season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining 2 bread slices, mayonnaise side up.
Move sandwiches to the air fryer basket. Place a toothpick in the center of each sandwich and air fry until bread is fully toasted and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove toothpick from sandwich, slice in half, and serve.
