Storage & Make Ahead
To keep your Yogurt Sandwich fresh, it’s best to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If making ahead, consider storing the filling separately from the bread. This way, the bread stays soft, and the filling remains flavorful. When ready to eat, simply assemble the sandwich and toast it. For reheating, place the sandwich back on the hot pan for a few minutes to rejuvenate the crisp exterior while warming the interior to perfection. Preparing the hung curd mix in advance can streamline the process, making this delicious dish even more convenient on busy days.
