That mustard and cheddar cheese is a favorite flavor combo of mine but i
try to get some garlic and oregano in there with it.

A favorite treat of mine is to rub a hot slice of toasted sourdough
bread with a cut clove of garlic, butter it, sprinkle with oregano and
then add a slice of cheddar cheese and place in the microwave for about
30 - 45 seconds. Just enough to heat the cheese without making the
toast soggy. Under the broiler for a minute or 2 is even better but
convenience usually trumps the connoisseur in me.
