To be even more pedantic, however, a grilled cheese is never “grilled” as in cooked on a grill. It’s typically in a pan or on a griddle. So, “griddled cheese sandwich” is the MOST correct terminology

Aren't things cooked on a griddle considered grilled?

Grilling is dry heat and exposed to flame, griddling is over a heated flat solid surface.

But also the cheese itself isn’t grilled the bread is grilled and the cheese is melted?? 🧐

It's a cheese sandwich that is grilled... A grilled cheese sandwich. It is not a sandwich made of grilled cheese.

Grilled, cheese sandwich. Grilled cheese sandwich.

Hmm I think this is one of those moments of me being dense ;-;
