According to my husband and all my friends, the weirdest thing about me is my name for a sandwich.
Apparently, everyone else calls it a ‘grilled cheese’. I have always called it by it’s proper name, a ‘toasted cheese’.
If you make it in a panini press, then it is a grilled cheese. But if you make a sandwich by buttering each side and toasting it in a pan on the stove until the cheese melts, then it is a toasted cheese. But every time I say ‘toasted cheese’, people look at me as though I have grown another head.
But, you don’t “toast” anything in a pan. Toasting is done in an oven/broiler type fashion (counter-top work essentially the same way), often with a grill either horizontally or vertically involved. I guess if you want to get technical about a pan-done cheese sandwich, it would be a pan-fried-cheese? Like pan fried vegetables?

Griddle Fatwitch, I’m not welcome most places.
