For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or guacamole after broiling.
Feel free to use different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a customized flavor profile.
To make these melts even quicker, use pre-cooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken.
Add a squeeze of lime juice at the end for brightness.
These can be assembled ahead of time and broiled just before serving.
