Notes
The Zaatar and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Fried Eggs is best when you have it hot right off the skillet.
However, if you feel you want to pack it to be eaten later on, you can wait till it cools down, and then store it in an airtight container.
An easy way is to heat it slightly in an ovenproof dish in the microwave when you want to have it, and then enjoy its savory taste.
It is also optional to cover the grill or hot skillet with a thin layer of butter before placing the sandwich on it.
This reinforces the rich flavor and gives the toast a marvelously golden brown color and a crunchy crisp.
