How To Put A Delicious Spin On Grilled Cheese
The Secret Swap for the Perfect Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is a classic comfort food, but a small tweak can make it unforgettable:
“replace butter with mayonnaise on the outside of the bread.”
Why Mayo Works Better
Butter burns quickly, but “mayo’s higher smoke point means you can cook your sandwich slower and longer” for a golden crust and melty center.
It spreads easily, adds a slight tang, and “creates that coveted crispy, golden crust while locking in moisture.”
How to Make It
Spread a thin layer of mayo on the outside of your bread, add cheese inside, and cook on low heat until both sides are golden.
Flavor Upgrades
Add caramelized onions, herbs, or a spicy kick by “mixing a little sriracha into your mayo.”
This simple swap gives your sandwich “a perfectly crisp, golden crust and a melt-in-your-mouth interior.”
