Notes
Nutritional Values are for the classic recipe ingredients and don't include supreme, loaded options added such as onions, cheese, and spices.
If you are going to plan to grill it, then, when you toast the bread, ensure it's only very lightly toasted so it can handle grilling later in the process.
