FAQ:
Q: Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
A: It’s best enjoyed fresh off the skillet for that crispy exterior and melty cheese. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days but reheating may soften the bread.
Q: How do I keep the bread from getting soggy?
A: Butter the outside of the sourdough well and grill on medium heat to crisp the bread without overcooking the inside.
