> tosti is Dutch for what's called a croque monsieur

Just to be a bit pedantic here, but a tosti is probably a lot simpler. It’s a grilled cheese (technically a melt) sandwich, pressed in a (sometimes specialized) tosti-grill.

A croque monsieur typically also has ham, bechamel, and is prepared in a pan.

Just to be a bit more pedantic, I don't think we eat the same croque monsieurs. What you described as a tosti is known to me as a croque monsieur (but with ham), and what you described as a croque monsieur is known to me as a wonderful idea I have never heard of before.
