- 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- *Optional sriracha sauce - as spicy as you like or omit if preferred
- Pinch of salt and black pepper

Place the sandwich in a pre-heated sandwich or panini press and close until the bread is toasted and the cheese is all meltyYou can also place the sandwich on a skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil or butter and gently flip with a spatula when the bread is toasted or toast in your air fryer
