💡 Chef tips
- Cook over medium-low heat to ensure the bread doesn't burn before the cheese has time to melt completely.
- You can use mayonnaise instead of butter for an extra crispy and golden crust.
- Cut the sandwiches into fun triangles or strip shapes using a butter knife or sandwich cutter for easier dipping.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished sandwiches should have a crunchy, buttery golden crust on the outside with warm, stretchy, and melted cheese in the center.
