In Michigan, a sandwich made of bread and cheese* and browned in a frying pan is called a grilled cheese sandwich, but I have heard people from other places refer to this as a toasted cheese sandwich. Putting aside the image that "toasted" conjures up of melted cheese dripping down all over the inside of a toaster ....

I am wondering: is it a toasted or grilled cheese sandwich where you are?

Also, the exterior sides of the bread are buttered before cooking a grilled cheese sandwich. Any chance that a toasted cheese sandwich is cooked dry?



*well, OK; I like mine with tomato slices, too.
