The simplest method is to put cheese on toast and run it under the
grill/broiler until it is brown and melted.
Can be seasoned if liked, of course.

Otherwise it is melted in a cheese toaster (of course), mixed with
prepared mustard then browned. Either serve with toast separately or
spread it on the toast and serve that way.
