Mix the cream cheese, with the grated cheese, paprika, salt and pepper.
Give one side of each slice of bread a quick spray of oil. This is optional.
Spread the other side (no oil) of two slices with tomato puree, then add the cheese mixture and spread in an even layer.
Sprinkle pizza seasoning or oregano over the cheese.
Place the two slices of cheese topped bread in your air fryer and cook for 3 mins at 180c/350f to give the cheese a chance to start melting before adding the top slice. If you have an air fryer with a drawer and not shelves, you may need to do one slice at a time.
Now add the top slice (oil side out) on top of the melted cheese slice and cook for another 4 mins until golden.
Serve and enjoy!

For a plain grilled cheese you can just mix the cream cheese with grated cheese, season and spread on plain bread.
The spray of low-calorie oil is optional but makes the toasties extra crispy.
Cooking the slice topped with cheese before adding the top slice of bread helps the cheese to melt.
If your air fryer has shelves you may be able to cook two toasties at once (or more). If you have a drawer you would need a shelf on legs to allow you to cook two toasties at once.
Air fryers vary, so do keep an eye on your toastie. It should be golden and crisp.
