FAQs:
Q: Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
A: It’s best enjoyed fresh off the grill to keep that crispy texture and melty cheese. Reheating may soften the crust.

Q: How should I store leftovers?
A: If you have any leftover sandwich, wrap it tightly and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a pan to restore some crispness.
