Layer on your Monterey Jack cheese slices and pop it back in the air fryer or under the broiler just until the cheese gets all melty and gooey.

Crack some fresh black pepper over your melted cheese, pile on your caesar coleslaw, and give it a nice drizzle of balsamic glaze. Top with the other half of ciabatta and get ready to enjoy!
