Storage and Make-Ahead InformationThis sandwich is best made and served immediately. That being said, here are some options for making ahead and storing leftovers:- Make Ahead:?Caramelized onions can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Freezing:?Assemble the sandwiches without grilling, wrap them tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw before grilling.
- Reheating:?Warm leftovers in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
Caramelizing onions takes time so?do not rush the process?by turning up the heat. Low and slow cooking ensures the natural sugars develop their deep, sweet flavor.
