FAQ
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh off the skillet for that crispy texture and melty cheese. If needed, you can prepare the guacamole in advance and assemble just before grilling.
How should I store leftovers?
Store any leftover sandwich wrapped in foil in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in a skillet to restore crispness.
