Grilled Cheese

I tried it but I prefer butter.

Good. It also works for making garlic bread. Doesn't take much.

But what if I add some bacon, or ham, maybe some brisket?

😈

I'm going to try this later today, this type of experimentalism is what I was lacking in my life :P

It's okay. I grew up eating grilled cheeses with mayo on the outside of the bread. Once I tried butter, i never went back.

Also good. Heat up a cast iron skillet, use a teensy bit of butter to grease the pan, put a little bit of mayo on the outside of the bread slices, and you’ll end up with grilled cheese perfection.

I've tried this as well - I still prefer butter, but I can see why some people might like mayo better. I think the salt content in the butter is what makes the difference for me, maybe I could try salting the mayo to get the best of both worlds.

I'm a big advocate of the hybrid approach: mayo on the bread, butter to grease the pan. The mayo adds a crisp (not crunchy) texture and browns wonderfully, but is helped by the flavor of the butter.

Some butter on the inside of the bread is also great.

I go with mayo on the bread, butter in the pan.

But maybe that's my impatience involving the desire for grilled cheese?
