Media: Melt sandwich

A melt sandwich is a type of hot sandwich containing a suitable meltable cheese (sometimes grated) and a filling of meat or fish. The sandwich is grilled on the stovetop until the cheese melts (hence the name) and the bread is toasted,^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] or heated in an oven.^[6]^[7]

One common type is the tuna melt, a melt sandwich filled with canned tuna that has been mixed with mayonnaise ( tuna salad) and other ingredients such as pickles, tomato, and onion. Other popular choices are ham, roast beef, chicken, turkey,^{[
