Cooking Tip
Freezing Cheese

Cheese can be frozen, but by doing this you will lesson the flavor of the cheese once it is thawed. Use fresh cheese always if you are able to.


Cooking Tip
Bacon

This recipe is great by adding a few slices of cooked bacon to the sandwich. I mean who doesn't like bacon right?
