Cooking Tips

• Feel free to add some arugula or spinach for an extra pop of freshness.

Storage and Serving

• These sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately while the bread is still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the sandwich in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
