"toasted cheese" here in NZ refers to a piece of toast which you cover with cheese and put under a broiler or grill. A "toastie pie" has two pieces of bread and is put under a grill, or (mostly if you make them a lot) in a "toastie machine." Grilled cheese is generally a cheese sandwich made on the stovetop.

They are so easy and yummy! What is not to love?! We call them grilled cheese if they have two slices of bread like you would make. For us to make a toasted cheese, we use one slice of bread, one slice of cheese and place it in the oven on broil. Watch it carefully. Then as the cheese starts to rise we take it out of the oven. Sometimes we toast the back side of the bread first, depends on how big a hurry we are in. Thanks for the Grilled Philly recipe. We will try it soon.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of my favorite comfort foods and it goes well with any soup or chili's. Its a quick no fuss meal served with soup or a salad. I have tried many combos of cheeses and breads, but how can you go wrong ? Its butter, bread and cheese :)

Grill thin tomato slices in with the cheese and they are too-die-for yummy!

An oven baked grilled cheese and a small bowl of sweetened tomato soup is one of my all time favorite lunch meals. I especially love them made with either edam ball cheddar cheese or roumi cheese, yum.

I do like grilled SWISS cheese. Not a huge fan of American cheese. (Grilled swiss with turkey is awesome!)

The other night I grilled hamburgers, but didn't have buns. So I made grilled cheese sandwiches to use instead. I cut each sandwich in half diagonally and used this for the bun. FABULOUS!
