A cheese sandwich is a sandwich made with cheese between slices of bread. Typically, semi-hard cheeses are used for the filling, such as Cheddar, Red Leicester, or Double Gloucester. A Guardian article described the cheese sandwich as a "British lunchtime staple."[1] Using a pie iron or frying pan can transform the cheese sandwich into a cheese toastie.
When a meat sandwich is prepared, the cheese becomes an accompaniment, and the sandwich is known by other names such as a ham sandwich or tuna sandwich. If the cheese is melted on such a sandwich, it is often referred to as a melt sandwich.
