Grilled cheese sandwich (ग्रिल्ड पनीर सैंडविच) is a basic sandwich prepared with all varieties of cheese placed between the slices of bread of all kinds. Grilled cheese sandwich is referred to as toasted cheese, cheese toastie and simply grilled cheese in various regions of the world.
Grilled cheese sandwich is served hot with soup in some countries, whereas it is served as snacks with tea in some other countries. It is also served as a whole meal in the United States and some other countries.
As the grilled cheese sandwich is popular across the world, it has many variations according to the cultural difference and the availability of the ingredients.
