How to be creative
  • Add a slice of tomato or a few slices of avocado for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Try using different types of cheese like gouda or pepper jack for a unique twist.
  • Spread a thin layer of pesto or even mustard on the inside for added depth of flavor.
Important Tips
  • Use a mix of cheeses for a melty, gooey texture.
  • Make sure the skillet isn’t too hot or the bread will burn before the cheese melts.
  • For a crispier outer layer, you can also brush a little extra butter on the skillet before cooking.
