Note

For a crunchier texture, pack with crunchy coleslaw on the side.

Carry the paper towel-wrapped sandwich in a separate airtight container to keep it warm and contained.

Italian bread can be used as a substitute for sourdough.

Ensure the sandwich is cooled slightly before eating to avoid burns from hot melted cheese.
