This is a variant on the standard cheese sandwich, which consists of cheese, of whatever type desired, between two slices of bread, possibly with the addition of a spread of some type. The difference is, in this case, the sandwich has been cooked.
The concept of cooking cheese sandwiches has been around for years, and in many different cultures. It is also known as the toasted sandwich or toastie. Once the sandwich is made, it would then be placed under the grill, so that the bread toasts and the cheese melts (some cheeses are better suited for melting than others). Alternatively, the sandwich could be heated on a griddle or in a frying pan, and would be flipped partway through cooking. Today, appliances designed to cook sandwiches like this can also be bought. The trick is to cook the sandwich evenly without burning the bread.
As well as the cheese, and possibly a spread, other ingredients may also be added to the sandwich. Ham is popular, but vegetables, especially onions, may also be included.
