The Toasting Technique: A Three-Step Waltz to Toasty Perfection
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C): Let the oven get nice and toasty (pun intended) before you introduce your sandwich.
2. Assemble your sandwich masterpiece: This is where your creativity shines. Layer on your meats, veggies, and cheese, making sure everything is evenly distributed. Pro Tip: To get that melty cheese goodness all the way to the edges, consider placing the cheese slices directly on the bread before adding your other fillings.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
3. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and melty: Keep an eye on your masterpiece! You don't want a burnt ballad, you want a toasty concerto.
Bonus Tip: If you want that extra Subway-style crisp, toast the bread halves for a minute or two before assembling your sandwich.
