Note
Storage: These sandwiches are best served immediately while the cheese is melted and the buns are crisp. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Substitutions: You can substitute the deli roast beef with thinly sliced leftover roast beef or turkey. For a dairy-free option, use a vegan cheese alternative that melts well.
Tip: Watch the buns closely while broiling as they can burn quickly. If your broiler runs hot, reduce the time to 1 minute.
