Reply to comment by spddemonvr4 in A bagel with creamed cheese is technically a grilled cheese sandwich by iunnolol

That would not be a grilled cheese sandwich. That would be a toasted cheese sandwich.

It’s the latch-key kid grilled cheese sandwich. When you’re hungry after school but aren’t allowed to use the stove when you’re parents are still at work. Toast the bread in the toaster, butter it, put a slice of cheese between and melt it in the microwave for 15 seconds. 8 year old chef’s kiss

Note: I wasn’t alone at 8, but there was as no way either of my 9 or 11 year old brothers were making me food.

I made these too, but they are not grilled cheese sandwiches. Just like, if you put tomato sauce on them they didn't instantly become pizzas.

Well not with that attitude! Sauce on carbs is either pizza or spaghetti my man. Fight me!

If we're being overly literal the stove top isn't a grill either. It would be a....(pan) fried cheese sandwich. Grilled would have to be over open flame. You don't grill your eggs and bacon on the stove top.

The heat source doesn't change the sandwich.

The bread is toasted in the toaster or on a pan...

I disagree. A traditional grilled cheese sandwich is not made by toasting the bread in a pan. Grilled food is usually cooked in it's own juices. Bread has no juices, so oil or butter is usually used. The taste and texture will be completely different from your toasted cheese sandwich.

You can still butter bread in a toaster... Nothing is different besides heat source.

My friend, there's definitely a difference in flavor between grilled cheese, toasted cheese, and "griddled" cheese.

If all the ingredients are the same there isn't.

There absolutely is. Go try it yourself. Different heating methods affect the physical reactions that take place in cooking, resulting in different flavors.

I've done it, many times. Thats why I know there's almost no difference.

You must have the taste buds of a potato then.
