Cheese, onion & tomato with rosemary and burnt edges from a few months ago:
That is a grilled cheese sandwich or toasted cheese sandwich in Merca. As a kid, we cooked them in a cast iron skillet with something heavy on top to flatten it out. Today, I use a Cuisinart Griddler, which is basically a panini press. Same basic result.
Also as a kid, it was white bread with American cheese. "Artisan" grilled cheese sandwiches are all the rage these days, with every kind of bread and cheese being used.

.......... or homemade French bread pizza.
We call that a toastie, my fave is cheese and chow chow/ piccalilli to muricans. As cd says we had these also in the fire as kids, normally on a Sunday night in winter. They were called waffles then. We still have one here somewhere, aluminium. Our fire was sealed up about 25 years ago , so don't know why we've kept it??It's not really a tradition in my country to have open faced cheese toast, we usually take two slices of bread, stuff cheese and/or other fillings between them, butter the outside and then put it in a toastie grill.
That looks like this:

My favorite toastie is one with mozzarella, red pesto and basil.
And what's this welsh rarebit???
I attempted my interpretation of one of those a few years ago. It wasn't very successful........

I only initially toasted one side of the bread.
Is it supposed to have eggs with it??
