toasted cheese

Hot melted cheddar

Toasted cheese is cheese melted by heat, typically on bread.

The term covers everything from open-faced cheese on toast under a broiler to grilled cheese sandwiches cooked in a pan.

I made toasted cheese for lunch.

In British usage, toasted cheese often means cheese on toast rather than a sandwich.
