Slice the bread to your desired thickness. Toast on one side under the grill. Then very lightly toast on the other side.
You can butter the very lightly toasted side now (optional). It does add a little depth to the flavour, not gonna lie.
Add ingredients. To ensure they warm through, you may need to put them on layer by layer. They don't need long. You'll need to watch to ensure the bread doesn't burn.
Add the cheese. Ensure it overlaps the ingredients so they don't slide off when you take a bite later. Ingredients in lap = no no. Season now.
Grill until cheese is melted and bubbling. Season again. Sprinkle with herbs if you like.
