melted cheese
Nachos' crowning glory
Melted cheese is cheese that has been heated until soft and flowing.
The term appears constantly in food contexts: a burger with melted cheese, melted cheese on nachos.
Unlike simply saying "cheese," specifying melted signals the warm, gooey texture that makes certain dishes appealing.
