- To add a Bavarian touch, you can spread a thin layer of sweet mustard on the rolls before assembling the cheesesteaks.
- For extra flavor, you can sauté the onions with a splash of Bavarian beer.
- If you prefer a spicier version, sprinkle some Bavarian mustard or horseradish on top of the melted cheese.
- Feel free to add sliced bell peppers or mushrooms to the sautéed onions for added texture and flavor.
- Serve the Bavarian cheesesteaks with a side of tangy sauerkraut for an authentic Bavarian experience.
