Have a grilled cheese using mayo on bread?? (black pepper, onion, egg)

[11jay11]

Anyone tried a grilled cheese with mayo on the outside of the bread?

Yes. Delicious. It doesn't taste mayo-y. It crisps the bread nicely without being greasy, like butter is.

All the time. I also put a tiny bit of butter in the pan itself, but it's so easy to prep the bread for the pan that I always use that little trick.

Never tried it before but now I will!

Try spreading a thin layer of mayo on the bread and then sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper.

I like to use extra sharp cheddar and add thin sliced red onion.

Yep, it's really good, and gives bread a crisper, more golden, crunchy crust than butter.

I've compared mayo, which is mostly just oil, to pure oil, and I don't notice any difference in the crust of the sandwich. I can get the same crust with butter if I use a low moisture content butter, like a European style butter.

I have noticed the bread gets soggy when I use too much of any of them.

Sprinkle on some freshly grated Parmesan after spreading the mayo.

I think it's generally easier to get a very thin coating with mayo than with butter, which helps with the crispness, and I think the presence of egg in the mayo adds something as well.

Yes, it makes the sandwich crispier.Mayo also works well in Tuna Casserole and mac and cheese.
