Make-Ahead Instructions

Prepare the ingredients ahead of time and store them in airtight containers in the fridge.
Assemble the sandwiches just before eating to keep them fresh and crunchy.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover sandwiches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Ensure they are wrapped tightly to prevent drying out.

Freezing Quick Sandwich Magic

If sandwiches are warm, use a toaster oven to reheat them gently.
Microwaving is an option, but be cautious not to make the bread soggy.
