💡 Chef tips
- For a make-ahead version, cook the egg and vegetable mixture the night before and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator; reheat gently before assembling.
- Substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative or omit it entirely to suit your dietary preferences.
- Ensure your vegetables are finely diced so they cook evenly and stay inside the sandwich without falling out.
✅ How it should turn out
The sandwich should feature a golden, toasted exterior with a warm, fluffy center that tastes savory and fresh, smelling of sautéed vegetables and toasted bread.
