To freeze additional sandwiches: After assembling sandwiches, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Place the sandwiches in gallon resealable bag then freeze. To reheat, remove the sandwich from the wrapper, place the sandwich in a damp paper towel or clean, damp cloth, and microwave for 1 minute. Flip the sandwich over and microwave for an additional 30 seconds, until warmed through.
