Notes

  • !

    To reheat, thaw in fridge overnight. Place thawed sandwich (keep parchment paper on or replace with a paper towel) on a microwave safe plate. Heat on high for 30-60 seconds or until the sandwiches are warmed through. If taking the sandwiches directly out of the freezer, remove sandwich from bag and place on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 60-90 seconds on defrost (or 50% power). Flip the sandwich over and microwave for 30-60 seconds on high power, until warmed through. You can also reheat the sandwiches in the oven or in the toaster oven. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.
