Notes

Feel free to switch up the cheese variety based on your preferences! Sharp cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack can all work well. To make it healthier, use whole grain bread and pay attention to portion sizes. This sandwich can be customized with additional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or even avocado for added nutrition and flavor. If you're meal prepping, consider keeping the ingredients separate until you're ready to assemble to prevent sogginess. Enjoy your delicious sandwich!
