Q: How do I keep the pretzel buns from getting soggy?
A: Toasting the sandwiches with butter creates a crisp exterior that keeps the buns from becoming soggy, while still staying soft and chewy inside.
Q: Can I store leftovers and reheat them?
A: Yes! Wrap leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore that toasted texture and melty cheese.
