Recipe Notes
- You can replace simple cheese with goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, or cottage cheese.
- Use the middle rack of the toaster oven for toasting. If your oven has more space, you can toast the sandwiches simultaneously. Just adjust the timing of the toaster oven.
- Every toaster oven has its temperature and toasting properties. So you can reduce or increase the timings of the toaster according to your preference. Also, you can adjust the timings based on whether you want the sandwich lightly golden, golden, golden brown, or brown.
- If the slices you use are thick, toast them for a bit longer than needed. For instance, increase the time by 4 minutes. But in this case, decrease the temperature by 25 degrees.
