Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for some of the mayonnaise. You can also mix in diced bell peppers or jalapeños for a spicy kick. Make sure to use fresh sandwich buns to hold up against the moist filling.
