The grilled cheese/toaster trick worked---sort of. It did not mess up the toaster since I trimmed the cheese to be sure it was well inside the edges of bread to avoid melting over and dripping. However on my toaster by placing it on its side gravity worked against this and caused one side of the bread to get too close to heating element so the toast edges burned badly.
