Could I make them the day before then heat all 6 or 12 sandwiches in the oven. If so do I need to wrap them in foil and at what temperature/length of time?
Arlene Mobley
Kim yes you can reheat them the next day. It only takes a minute in the microwave. You could put the sandwiches on a cookie sheet, cover with aluminum foil and reheat them on 350 until the center is hot.
