HOT OPEN-FACED SANDWICH

I used to get this all the time at a nearby coffee shop when I was in college, and it's still a favorite lunch. At home, I generally use whole wheat instead of the original white bread, mustard instead of mayonnaise and a slice of processed cheddar cheese instead of American. Tastes great either way. Really be generous with the pepper!
