• Cover your skillet with a lid or foil and cook on medium-low for several minutes to allow the cheese to melt and fillings to warm. Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high. Continue cooking until your bread is done to your liking.
• Note: You may substitute butter for the mayo, however, I find that the mayo makes the bread crispier and less greasy than butter. And it leaves no mayo taste behind.
