Notes

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
  • Freezing: While it’s best fresh, you can freeze the assembled sandwich before cooking. Just thaw and cook when ready!
  • Pairing: Serve your sandwich with a side of tomato soup for a classic combination, or try it with a salad for a lighter option.
  • Experiment: Feel free to try different types of cheese, such as gouda or mozzarella, for a new twist.
  • Serving Suggestion: Cutting the sandwich into triangles makes it fun for kids and easy to share!
