Have you seen the debate about mayonnaise vs. butter when making a grilled cheese? I decided to decide for myself. After I put mayonnaise on the bread and put it in the pan it occurred to me that it is just basically cooking the sandwich in oil. Sigh. But I was already committed. But on the second piece I did at least salt the mayo/oil.
I am not going to argue with those who prefer mayonnaise over butter. I will remain quiet in my sadness that they are missing out on the yummy flavor that butter brings to any dish. Could be that the people who like mayo instead of butter have better mayo, but it has been a very long time since the eggs were replaced by oil as the main ingredient and other additives were added in the mayo we buy.
It was only a sandwich to be remembered because I will never want to do that again. There was a lot of oil left in the pan.
Do you have a preference for grilling grilled cheese?
