Notes
For an extra crispy sandwich, press down with the spatula while grilling to ensure even contact with the pan. Choose a hearty bread that can hold up to the fillings, like sourdough or whole grain, for added texture and flavor. If you enjoy a bit of tang, add a few slices of pickles inside the sandwich before grilling.
