Notes

- Swiss, cheddar, provolone, Havarti, or gouda all pair well with the sauce.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or avocado.
- Store cooked eggs, meat, and sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze assembled sandwiches for up to 2 months and thaw before reheating.
- Reheat in a 325°F (165°C) oven or air fryer for 4–6 minutes for the best texture.
