Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on the filling, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or substituting the Swiss cheese with provolone for a different flavor profile. If you're short on time, pre-sliced ham and cheese can save you prep time. Mixing in some fresh herbs like dill or parsley can also elevate the taste.
