FAQs
1. Can I make this without eggs?
Yes! Just butter the bread and grill like a regular grilled cheese (though it won’t be as rich).
2. Can I use an air fryer?
Absolutely! Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. What other fillings work well?
Try adding tomatoes, spinach, or a sprinkle of garlic powder for extra flavor.
4. How do I keep it crispy for later?
Best eaten fresh, but reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispiness.
