Notes
Bread Options: While brioche or challah bread work best for their softness and slight sweetness, you can also use white bread, whole wheat, or sourdough for different textures.
Fruit Variations: Add additional fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or bananas for extra flavor.
Baking Option: For a lighter version, bake the sandwiches at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
