Notes
Ingredients and Substitutions:
Bread: choose a bread that is going to get nice and crisp and crunchy in the cooking process. Sourdough works great, as does rye bread or a nice seed bread.
Cheese: choose a nice melting cheese -- many will work great as long as you shred it yourself. Pre-shredded cheese is not the ticket here! Old cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella -- many will work according to your tastes.
Butter: I'm not mayo's biggest fan, but you can swap the butter on the bread for mayo and it will achieve a nice golden crust as well -- with a bit of a tangy flavor.
