Wikipedia: Grilled cheese
A grilled cheese (or toasted sandwich) is a hot sandwich typically prepared by heating one or more slices of cheese between slices of bread, with a cooking fat such as butter, on a frying pan, griddle, or sandwich toaster, until the bread browns and the cheese melts. A grilled cheese may contain ingredients besides the bread and cheese, as long as the latter is the main focus.

My kids used to make themselves grilled cheese sandwiches and have canned sliced peaches for dessert. Of course, in time they started calling it “Chilled Grease Sandwiches with Spiced Leeches for dessert”.
 
NOTHING grosses out a 9 year old…

After being refrigerated, grilled cheese sandwiches turn into chilled grease sandwiches. Tip: salsa makes everything better. #LeftoverNight

There’s a reason that my family refers to leftover grilled cheese sandwiches as “chilled grease.”
