Notes

Cool any leftover sandwich to room temperature for no more than two hours before refrigerating. Store wrapped tightly or in an airtight container for 3–4 days. To freeze, separate sandwiches with parchment and wrap in foil, then place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or oven to restore the crisp sourdough bread and melt the cheese again.
