I used sliced ham, turkey, and precooked bacon! You can add sliced chicken breast too if you’d like!Cheese: I used sliced cheddar cheese for its sharp, cheesy flavor, but creamy cheeses like provolone and Havarti are great options as well.Veggies: The veggie toppings I added are butter lettuce and sliced tomatoes! A couple more great options to try are onions and avocado slices.
