Notes
The amount of cheese you use is a matter of preference. If you love cheese, load it up. Feel free to start with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese and add more to suit your taste and how cheesy you like your sandwich.
I recommend sliced brioche bread or Texas toast. Sourdough and French bread will also work well.
You can use precooked lobster. That will make this even easier!
