I assumed that American grilled cheese was cheese, on bread, put under a grill and retrieved a little later. But no! For their grills are barbecues, and their broilers are grills.
Grilled cheese can simply be made with a frying pan and a few simple ingredients. Yes, it is a fried cheese sandwich, as far as I can tell.

Bread
Butter (or preferred spread)
Cheese
Gherkins, tomatoes, pickle
Take some sliced cheese, something akin to a mild cheddar works well (I actually tried out Monterey Jack, and found it was similar to that.) Place the cheese upon one piece of bread, sandwich it with another slice of bread.
Now butter the top of the sandwich, and place this butter-side-down in a frying pan over a low-medium heat. Butter the new topside.
After a few minutes, flip it. There should be some light golden-brown toasting on the new topside, and the cheese should be looking a little melty around the edges. Leave for a few more minutes until toasted on the second side. Do not hurry! This is the trick of it.
Serve with pickled gherkin, and some cherry tomatoes don't go amiss. And pickle, if you are a fiend for it such as I am.
