❓ Q&A
Q: Why use mayo instead of butter?
A: Mayo gives a crispier, evenly browned crust and is easier to spread.
Q: What’s the best cheese combo?
A: Mix cheddar + mozzarella for flavor + stretch, or add American for extra meltiness.
Q: Can I add extras?
A: Yes! Try ham, bacon, tomato, or caramelized onions.
Q: Why is my bread burning?
A: Temperature may be too high—try 350°F and cook a bit longer.
Q: Can I stack sandwiches?
A: Not recommended—airflow is key for crispiness.
Q: How do I keep cheese from leaking out?
A: Don’t overfill, and press the sandwich lightly before cooking.
