Our waffle iron is the regular kind, not Belgium, and the plates turn over for a griddle. It was a wedding gift to us 53 years ago. I do butter the outside of the bread slices first, very lightly. and close the lid on the sandwiches so they get golden brown on both sides at once and melt the cheese beautifully. I can do two sandwiches at the same time, since the iron is a rectangle. Also, we love to add cooked bacon or ham slices to the cheese sandwiches.
