My mom would make garlic toast about 3 times a week w dinner. White bread cut in half, buttered and sprinkled w garlic salt and paprika. A whole cookie sheet baked in the oven.There were no leftovers.

Open face pimento cheese in the toaster oven, baked until the cheese was brown, good for breakfast,lunch or dinner.

I guess I didn't actually contribute to the OP question.... perhaps I should do that.

Yeah, why the hell not? More times than not, cheese (cheddar, nothing less) would be on an open-faced biscuit if it wasn't smothered in sausage gravy (probably contributed some to my fatassed-ness of my younger years, but I digress), but also had it's place on white bread, seasoned with a dash or three of salt, pepper, and garlic. Perhaps a touch of paprika and/or cayenne for color.

Here lately, I'll do peanut butter on toast for breakfast. But I just might have to go back to an OG fav just for grins.

Cheese toast in my house was a treat to have with dinner. It consisted of a piece of white bread with a slice of American cheese right out of the plastic wrapper placed on top and then that was put in the toaster oven (when we finally got one as they were ‘fancy’ we were not so much)

This was the case at my house, except it was for breakfast. My mom liked to put mayo on hers. Toated them until the cheese puffs up.

Your answer is wrong, hers is right.

All that matters. As for the half made samich...I'll pass.
For the squished bread folk. Soft taco shell sandwiches are the bomb. Spread nutella, peanut butter and jelly, or slices of cheese.
And @CasterTroy. Double stack of of said method with pepper jack and a good mater soup is awesome.
 
So it all started with the wife saying something about not knowing what to cook the kids for breakfast and me innocently suggesting cheese toast. She snaps back "Psh, I hadn't even heard of that until I met you." To which I probably replied something along the lines of "are you dumb?"

She was born and raised in Durham, me in Charlotte.

About once a week at work, ill throw some butter on 2-3 pieces of bread, and cover it in torn up slices of cheddar and/or colby/monterrey jack cheese. Broil it until the cheese starts to brown.

I thought this was a normal thing until my wife said something about it. I asked around at work, and 7 out of 10 thought it was normal. The oddballs are from PA, CA, and Germany. The girl from Arizona/Hawaii calls it cheesy toast, but thats probably just her and not a thing.

Growing up it was dad's "specialty" haha. He would spread butter (not actually butter, whatever the tub of easy spreading stuff is) onto some Autumn Grain bread, and tear up kraft singles onto it, generally arranged in 4 rows. Broil it in the oven, then when it came out, he'd tear the crust off and cut it into 4 strips.
 
My cheese toast has an egg on it. Because it's an egg on toast, but with cheese. If you further add ranchero sauce, it becomes huevos rancheros on toast, but with cheese. Or use green salsa with a little sour cream on top instead.

Usually I skip the toast and have huevos racheros with some soft taco shells tortillas on the side. ;)
Seriously though, you can do it the simple way and just make a few fried eggs, open a jar/can of salsa ranchero, and grab a few tortillas. It's a quick breakfast.

You can put cheese on a torta, and that technically becomes cheese toast but with meat and vegetables, if you toast the bolillo bread first.

I also like avocado toast (even though I'm not a millennial), because it's good. I'm actually a 5 year-old, because I frequently eat apple slices with peanut butter for breakfast. The Jif Natural has molasses in it, and it's a pretty good jar of peanut butter.

Seriously though...if you've not got a small condiment cup filled with lily's dark chocolate chips that you're dipping the apple slice with peanut butter into...are you REALLY living?

Are those like rainbow sprinkles? :D

I've already got my hands full with a butter knife, a jar of peanut butter, and a pile of apple slices on a cutting board. I don't need more breakfast accessories to assemble while I eat.

All I know is me and Miranda argue about cheese toast is not the same as a grilled cheese

Ive never put a grilled cheese in the TOASTer (or oven for Texas toast). This obviously ignores the French toast clause.

Oh I bitched about it when she said she was making grilled cheese and made cheese toast and told me it was same.

She didn’t like my dating and living together is the same thing as being married then come back

My buddy asked her if she packed her own tent since she won’t stay with me at my house


I also had my cheese toast thrown in the trash but I considered I won that round

Negative. She just catalogued it in file 23789123.3 in drawer 12.

Trust me it will come up again.
 
Well this has really gotten in the weeds. Everyone knows that cheese toast is literally melted cheese on a (singular) piece of toast (unsmashed) and that grilled cheese is melted cheese between TWO pieces of SMASHED pan cooked bread.

That looks like a tough one, but it's not.



To get the cheese to properly adhere to itself, you have to apply sufficient pressure which in turn smashes the bread. Thus forth, turning a perfectly good piece of cheese toast, into a half(assed) grilled cheese sandwich.

I'd call it kids grilled cheese. Also a regular item at my house.
