butter makes everything taste better! you don't have to use it if you don't want to but it does help the sandwich become more crispy and crunch :)

Oh yes, I do eat healthy...but to dream... You know if you alter it a bit to include egg (Veggie Omlette) and less cheese, you can have a pretty nutritious breakfast sandwich.
