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?

When recipes call for you to cook an item in a pan without first adding oil, they say to toast it to indicate that you are applying dry heat to it. For example, most Indian recipes call for toasting whole spices in a dry pan before grinding. That is also why you can toast marshmallows over an open flame.

Edit: but you said butter it first, is that not oil?
