We're always looking for satisfying vegetarian meals, and this air-fryer sandwich recipe tops the list. These melts are especially delicious in the summer when we have tons of homegrown tomatoes. —Amy Smalley, Morehead, Kentucky

2 large portobello mushrooms (4 ounces each), stems removed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
4 tomato slices
2 slices mozzarella cheese
