extra cheese

More melted goodness

Extra cheese is an add-on request when ordering food, especially pizza, meaning more cheese than the standard amount.

The phrase extends to anything excessive or over-the-top: That love scene was extra cheese.

Someone being extra cheesy is being corny or saccharine beyond what's called for.
