Dad used to make them, when I was just a pup, just like your description only he used SPAM.
"Spamelts" we called them.
Marbled rye from the local bakery, onions from a farm close by.
I liked a slice of tomato inside.
Cheese from a local dairy delivered into our icebox fridge by the milkman.
Dad didn't always use spam, but with a touch of mustard spamelts were my fave.
Another variation was roast beef melts.
Hugh, you've made my mouth all watery..
