Cooking Tips

  • To store leftovers, wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the sandwiches, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.

Storage and Serving
