Ingredients

6 english muffins
4 1/2 oz sliced olives
1 1/2 c grated cheddar cheese
1/2 c thinly sliced green onions
1/2 c mayonnaise
salt

Steps:

1. Cut English muffins in half. Set aside.

Tips:

Use good quality bread: A sturdy bread that can hold up to the melted cheese is best. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole grain bread.
Butter the bread: This will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses to create a unique and flavorful melt. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
Add other toppings: In addition to cheese, you can also add other toppings to your melt, such as cooked vegetables, bacon, or sliced tomatoes.
Cook the melt until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the cheese is melted evenly and is nice and gooey.

Cheese melts are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying cheese melt that the whole family will love.
