It is rather more than that. Here is a nice, illustrated recipe, in
Italian:

Nope. Crostini are simpler and different.

Croque-monsieur and its permutations are better compared to the Italian
toast/tost (coppia di fette di pane tostate con formaggio e prosciutto),
panini caldi a base di formaggio e prosciutto, or, as they are called at
some places, pierini con formaggio e prosciutto caldi.

And here is a nice "cheesy" article (in English):
