Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?

Because the sandwich tastes best fresh and crispy, it’s recommended to enjoy it right after grilling. If you need to prepare ahead, keep the bread and cheese separate and assemble just before cooking.

How should I store leftovers?

Leftover grilled mozzarella sandwiches can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but reheating may soften the crispy crust. To re-crisp, grill briefly on a pan before eating.
