Toasted or grilled. As in "grilled ham and cheese".

As in Americans say "toasted sandwich" or "Grilled ham and cheese" when they order one? okay. I'll take that. Thanks! :)

Yep. Grilled cheese with tomato soup.

So I have a British professor who once ordered a "cheese toastie" at the coffee shop, just out of habit, and got teased mercilessly. ;)

"Panini" is also an option, especially at a coffee shop that is either a little classier or wants to think it is.

Haha! My problem is Australians just incorporate from all over. British roots supplemented with kids if US TV. I'd use any of those terms happily. :p
