    • Ensure the sardines are well-drained before mashing to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
    • Mix the sardines, mayo, red bell pepper, red onion, chili, and lime juice thoroughly for an evenly distributed and flavorful filling.
    • Add chopped chili gradually, tasting as you go, to achieve the desired level of spiciness without overwhelming the other flavors.
    • Preheat the sandwich maker to medium-high for a crisp exterior and evenly cooked sandwich.
    • Divide the sardine filling equally among the rolls to ensure a consistent taste in every bite.
    • Cook with the lid closed to allow even heating, creating a crispy texture on the outside while maintaining a succulent interior.
    • Keep an eye on the sandwiches to avoid overcooking. The ideal time is 6-7 minutes until they achieve a golden-brown crispiness.
    • Enjoy the sandwiches right away for the best texture and flavor. The crispy exterior is key to the overall experience.
    • Explore different types of rolls for a varied experience, from crusty baguettes to soft brioche, enhancing the sandwich's character.
