A hand holding a paper napkin and half a toasted cheese sandwich wrapped in grease-saturated white paper. The sandwich is golden brown and crispy on the outside and gooey cheesy on the inside, with flecks of purple, white, and green onion mixed in with the melted white cheese. There is a large bite out of the sandwich on the left side.
