What kind of cheese is on a patty melt?

The classic cheese on a patty melt is American cheese.

This is because American cheese melts beautifully and creates that gooey, melty goodness that makes a patty melt so irresistible.

However, other cheeses can also be used, such as:

* Cheddar: Adds a sharper flavor.

* Provolone: Provides a slightly tangy taste.

* Swiss: Offers a nutty flavor and melts well.

* Monterey Jack: A mild and creamy cheese that melts smoothly.

Ultimately, the choice of cheese is a matter of personal preference!
