See around where i live, we call it a cheese toasty. We had class debates about if its a cheese toasty or a grilled cheese. Most people say a cheese toasty is when you take a pan on a stove or micowave. Then take 2 pieces of bread a sandwitch the cheese in the middle, then “toast it” sometimes including butter on the outside of the bread when using a pan. Grilled cheese is when you grill the sandwitch in the same way as toasting except its grilled.
Honestly its just kinda a silly little argument between people, i mean its bread with cheese! But its just fun to see what others call things. Very simular to coke/pop/soda debate.
We have two similar, but different things in our household (American here):
- grilled cheese - slices of cheese (usually cheddar) between two slices of bread; outside is buttered and it’s cooked on a pan so both sides get toasted
- bread w/ cheese (crappy name, I know) - shredded cheese (usually Mexican blend, sometimes mozzarella) on bread w/ mayo to help it stick; either microwave (15 sec or so) or butter the bottom and cook on a pan w/ the lid on (2-3 min?)
Maybe I’ll start calling the second a “cheese toasty” because that’s way better than what I call it.
