Type of hot sandwich containing cheese
Not to be confused with
hamburger patty)
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
turkey,[citation needed] or a ground beef patty (for a patty melt). Both patty melts and tuna melts are staples of the traditional American diner; patty melts were commonly found on menus by the 1940s, and tuna melts by the 1960s.[1][2][3][5]
