cheese toast

Broiled dairy sandwich

Cheese toast is bread topped with cheese and heated until the cheese melts, typically made under a broiler or in a toaster oven.

It's a simple, quick meal or snack: I made cheese toast for lunch.

The term is more common in American English; British speakers often say cheese on toast.
