Can I make this sandwich in a toaster?
I wouldn’t recommend it. Grilling the sandwich on a skillet or griddle is the best way to get that crispy, golden brown exterior and melty cheese on the inside. Plus, the buffalo sauce can make the bread a bit soggy if you try to toast it in a regular toaster. Trust me, it’s worth the extra few minutes to cook it on the stovetop.
Can I add other ingredients to this sandwich?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and add your favorite ingredients to this sandwich. Some tasty options could be bacon, avocado, tomato, or even some blue cheese crumbles. Just make sure to not overload the sandwich with melted cheese, or it might be difficult to flip and cook evenly.
