Ingredients

old cheddar cheese
roasted pickled sweet peppers
red onion
marbled rye
Japanese mayo

Instructions

Slather the outsides of the bread with mayo. Yes, mayo. Butter works fine if you don't have mayo, but trust me it works GREAT.
Lay cheese, peppers, and red onions inside the sandwich.
Melt the butter in a medium frying pan (preferably a cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the sandwich and fry until golden brown and gooey, then flip and brown the other side. Remove from heat, allow to cool for a minute or two and serve.

Notes

Feel free to use regular mayo or butter/margarine in place of the Japanese mayo. Likewise, you can change up the bread or even the cheese - though I'd recommend using a strong, flavourful variety to stand up to the peppers and onions.
