Anything other than cheese on a grilled cheese makes it a panini, not a grilled cheese.

    We don't call it a grilled cheese in the UK. It would be a toastie, even if you added ham it would still be a toastie. A panini is something else I believe.

    I think a toastie and a panini are very similar, but a panini typically uses a stiffer bread and the toastie is kind of sealed on the sides. A grilled cheese (US) is typically a cheese sandwich toasted in a pan, so kind of somewhere in between a toastie and a panini

    I can get behind these rules to be honest. I think panini would be a ciabatta or something like that.

    I hadn’t realised that the American grilled cheese was basically a sandwich toasted and you’re quite right to point out toasties are sealed all around.

    I wonder do Americans eat toasties. I’m reluctant to assume your country of origin.
