Cheddar

Cheddar is in 19 recipes and behaves badly under heat compared to processed cheese: the older and sharper it is, the more likely it splits into oil and stringy protein. Mild or medium cheddar melts far more cleanly. What it gives in return is actual flavour — sharpness that stands up to a heavily seasoned patty, where American cheese would disappear. Several builds here use both, one slice of each, which is a reasonable compromise between melt and taste.
