Melt sandwich
A melt sandwich is a type of hot sandwich containing cheese (sometimes grated) and some type of filling such as meat or vegetables. The sandwich is then heated until the cheese is melted. It is the filling that establishes the melt sandwich as a variation of the grilled cheese sandwich.[1] It may be served as an open-face sandwich or a closed-face one.
