Notes
Tips and Tricks
*Mayo acts as a great flavorful fat to help toast the bread. You can also use butter, olive oil, or nothing!
*After adding the cheese I like to stick the sandwich back under the broiler just until it melts- so only 30 seconds or so!
*I love getting the jarred Roasted Red Bell Peppers from the store. They can be found near the jarred pickles and peppers.
*You can customize this sandwich as much or as little as you like! It’s all up to you and what you enjoy!
