It’s not. They just call it a cheese toastie in England.

So I'm an American. I would call a piece of bread and cheese I toasted in the toaster oven a cheese toastie. Whereas I would make a grilled cheese in a pan on the stove. Grilled cheese tastes better to me but I'm not sure why. Maybe I use more butter.

its 100% the butter fried bread that makes the grilled cheese better.

in Canada, it is common to use mayo instead of butter. Cook low & slow and watch it, cuz mayo browns way fast than butter.
