Dip
Both sides, quickly. A long soak dissolves the bread.
Heat
Medium, so the cheese melts before the bread burns.
Toothpicks
Pull them out before you serve.
Sugar
A dust, not a glaze.
Nutrition (estimated)
About 610 calories per serving. Estimate only, not a lab test.
FAQ
Jam?
A spoon of raspberry jam on the side is the diner habit. The sandwich itself is savory.
Deep fry?
Some menus do. This one is pan-fried in butter.
Sourdough?
It works if the slice is not too holey.
Ahead?
Fry to order. It goes sad as it sits.
