    That looks like a baked cheese, not grilled.

        It doesn’t look like it was in contact with any cooking surface at all on the side we can see and we can’t see the other side at all, so I don’t know how you made the jump to panini, lol. It looks dry and sad.

          That was cooked on a toastie maker. They’re pretty common where I live. It’s like a sandwich press with molded hotplates to squeeze the sandwich into the shape you see there. They do get kind of dry on the outside.

          https://amzn.eu/d/dc7LNY9 I apologise for Amazon link but it works for a quick visual.

          Most people butter the bread and turn it inside, against the filling. The trick for the crispiest toastie is to turn the buttered side on the outside.

            Yeah, it definitely looks like it was smashed into too small of a space, but it doesn’t actually look grilled/fried, it looks toasted. No matter what, it’s quite unappetizing, as is that red water next to it, lol.
