Keywords: Customize your sandwich with additional ingredients such as avocado or caramelized onions for a gourmet touch. For a crunchier texture, try using sourdough bread instead of standard sandwich bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
