Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use something other than honey mustard? Yes! You can use cranberry sauce or some other type of jam instead!
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise? Yes! You may need to adjust the measurements a touch to accommodate the tartness of the Greek yogurt, but Greek yogurt will work fine.
Can I make these sandwiches ahead of time? Not really, they are best enjoyed warm and immediately once prepared. However, you can prep the honey mustard ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
