A melt sandwich is a type of hot sandwich containing cheese (sometimes grated) and some type of filling such as meat or vegetables. The sandwich is then grilled on the stovetop until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

One common filling is tuna with mayonnaise (tuna salad); the result is a tuna melt. Other popular choices are ham, roast beef, chicken, turkey, or a ground beef patty, which is known as a patty melt. Both patty melts and tuna melts are staples of the traditional American diner; patty melts were commonly found on menus as early as the 1940s and tuna melts as early as the 1960s.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[5]
