Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Don’t skimp on butter; it contributes to the rich flavor and golden crust. If the bread is too soft, lightly toast it in a dry pan before assembly for added sturdiness. After cooking, let the sandwich rest for a minute before cutting to help the cheese set slightly.
