Cheesy Toast from Hallie Wiseley:

White bread
American cheese
sugar

place slice(s) of bread on cookie sheet. Top with cheese. then sprinkle sugar on top (about a teaspoon per slice).

place in oven and broil until sugar is bubbly and starts to darken. Once the sugar begins bubbling, it will burn quickly, so keep your eyes on it and be ready to pull the pan out of the oven.

Halley's grandma used to make this for a treat for Molly. So cool.
