Notes
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the fridge. They are best eaten within a day or two. Reheat them in a skillet or a toaster oven to maintain their crispy texture. Variations include using goat cheese or mozzarella, or adding crispy bacon for extra flavor.
