Notes
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lighter version.
- Fresh parsley adds brightness, but you can also use basil or cilantro if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sandwiches for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Use day-old French bread for better texture that holds up well under the moist filling.
