Notes
Make sure to use your favorite bread for this sandwich, it really makes a difference!
You can play with the cheeses used in this recipe, if you can find a double cream gouda though I highly recommend it!
If you're making multiple sandwiches make sure to adjust your cook time as the pan will keep heating up.
I added some thin slices of jalapeño into one of the sandwiches and loved the extra spice. You might want to give that a try if you're a spice lover.
