Instructions
1
Begin by spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise generously on each slice of your chosen bread, ensuring you cover all edges for maximum flavor.
2
Layer each slice of bread with one slice of provolone cheese followed by one slice of cheddar cheese. For a mouth-watering experience, feel free to experiment with different cheeses, but the creaminess of provolone or mozzarella works best.
3
Evenly distribute the finely chopped spring onions and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the cheese on both slices of bread.
4
Preheat your toaster oven and toast the assembled bread lightly until the cheese starts to melt, allowing those flavors to meld together.
5
Once toasted, carefully remove both pieces from the toaster oven. Add a final slice of cheddar cheese on top of one piece, then top it off with the other slice, onion side facing down.
6
Return the sandwich to the toaster oven to toast for an additional few minutes, until everything is melty, golden, and delicious.
7
Slice the sandwich diagonally, and serve it immediately with a crunchy pickle and a handful of your favorite chips, for the perfect crunchy and cheesy combination.
