FAQ
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh off the grill to keep the crust crispy and the cheese melted. Leftovers can be reheated in a pan to restore some crispiness.
How should I store leftovers?
Wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat to avoid sogginess.
