To quote someone else. . . Heretic! Harrumph! One should not, cannot, must
not toast both sides of the bread and then add the cheese; one assembles the
sandwich first, and then grill it! That allows for the proper melding of the
cheese with the bread, unifying the creaminess of the one with the buttery
crispness of the other.

At least you didn't add munster, cheddar, brie, or one of them thar furrin
cheeses. . .
