Recipe Notes

Wrap your bread tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices individually.

Substitute cheese for your preference: Sharp cheddar gives the best savory contrast, but feel free to experiment with gouda, gruyère, or a smoky cheese.
