Notes

For a more flavorful sandwich, you can lightly toast the bread slices before assembling. Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients as they will enhance the taste of the sandwich. If you prefer a warm sandwich, you may grill it lightly on a pan for a few minutes on each side until the cheese just begins to melt.
