Oh, my! I never thought that this recipe is this good! I have had a lot of sandwiches in my life, but this one just became my favourite! The combination of all the ingredients is just too perfect! My only advice to you is to be very generous with the amount of cheese that you are going to add. Just do it and thank me later! Feel free to add more ingredients if you prefer. I am sure that you can do a lot to make this even better! Have a wonderful day, friends. Enjoy!
