Notes

Feel free to experiment with variations by adding ingredients like caramelized onions or substitute meats for leaner options. You can prepare the sandwiches ahead of time and bake them just before serving for warm, gooey goodness. These sandwiches are perfect for any gathering and can be adjusted to different tastes and dietary needs, making them versatile and crowd-pleasing! For a healthier version, consider using whole-grain rolls and lean proteins. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; reheat before serving for the best texture.
