Megan, from Petrolia, shares with us the secret ingredient for this yummy lunch – “it’s the ranch dressing”. She says, “This sandwich is like a twisted grilled cheese, it has all 4 food groups and it is good warm or cold. Be sure to let it cool completely before packing it for your lunch because the steam will make the bread soft.”
