Lol when I overcook it I turn that side down on the plate so I can at least try and fool myself it's not burnt. Don't listen to the haters. What's a grilled cheese if you haven't burnt one side haha

No no, I'm not judging. I was just going to suggest trying mayo if you never have. In my experience, it takes longer to burn, making the bread crisper but less burnt.

Even if your sammich was perfect, I would have suggested it.

Enjoy!

I saw a housemate doing this with mayo and I thought he was cracked. Is it actually good?

You won't notice a difference in taste.

What kind of mayo and butter did you use?

Hellmans. And butter gaylea typically.

Interesting. Well, I've never noticed a difference in taste 😅

I've even served grilled cheese to folks who claim to hate mayo, and they've never said boo.

I made grilled cheese with mayo tonight. It was delicious, and I did not notice a difference. 2 year old cheddar, bacon, Doritos, fried up nice and crunchy. Everything I hoped it would be

Yes, it is magical, but use very little. I love mayo on most stuff, but for this application just spread some on and scrape most of it off. Maybe add a sprinkle of grated parmesan and you have a tasty, crunchy sammich.
