====Best recipe review====

''Bloody genius!''

5/5 

I wish I had known about this when I had my first bed-sit, 50 years ago! Mind you, I don't think I owned an iron then!

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Lay the [[Cheese|cheese]] on un-buttered [[Bread|bread]]

| [[Butter]] both slices of [[Bread|bread]] on the outside - no butter goes in the middle of the [[Sandwich|sandwich]]
| Lay the [[Sandwich|sandwich]] on a single piece of fin-[[Foil|foil]]
| Wrap well so the contents won't leak
| Place the iron on top of the [[Foil|foil]] [[Sandwich|sandwich]], leave for 5 minutes.
| Turn the [[Sandwich|sandwich]] and iron the other side for another 5 minutes
| Eat!
