Making grilled cheese sandwiches is often seen as a simple task, but there are ways to elevate the experience. One such tip is replacing butter with mayonnaise, a suggestion from Beating Hearth, as highlighted by Pure Wow.
Mayonnaise, with its smoother texture, spreads easily on bread without tearing, and has a higher smoke point than butter, preventing it from burning at low heat. This ensures the bread becomes golden-brown while the cheese melts perfectly. The egg and oil in mayonnaise also create a rich, creamy crust, adding flavor and texture to the sandwich. This small change can transform your grilled cheese into a delicious, impressive treat
How to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Mayonnaise
What you need: A pan (ideally nonstick), two slices of bread, cheese and a few teaspoons of mayonnaise
Directions
- Spread an even coat of mayo on each slice of bread.
- In a pan over low heat, place one slice in the pan, mayo-side down. Top it with your cheese of choice. Place the other slice of bread atop the cheese, mayo-side up.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
