Preparation

Heat a large non-stick skillet or electric griddle over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches, in batches as necessary, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and cheese is melted.

Tips

Use your favourite Canadian Cheddar cheese ' mild, medium or, for a bit more flavour, try Old Cheddar.
