Tips

  • toast in the pan 2-3 minutes each side till the outside is crispy and the meat is cooked through, cook longer if needed
  • use a griddle pan if you want the grill marks
  • eating them fresh is recommended, but you can store for up to 5 days by wrapping in foil and allowing to cool first
  • to reheat, unwrap from the foil, microwave for 2-3 minutes to take the chill off then pan toast or airfry to get crispy again
