FAQ
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh off the pan to keep the bread crispy and cheese melty. You can prepare the guacamole a few hours ahead and store it covered in the fridge.
How should I store leftovers?
If you have extra sandwich, wrap it tightly and refrigerate. Reheat gently in a pan to keep the bread crispy; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
