No heavy-duty foil? Use two sheets of regular foil.

You can assemble the bread and wrap it in foil up to 8 hours ahead of time. Keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill.

Needs to be cooked longer if you are using in direct heat on the grill otherwise the cheese does not melt and the bread does not get crunchy like it would in the oven. Great taste!
