My sister once had a roommate who asked her what goes into a grilled cheese sandwich. She said just two pieces of bread and a slice of cheese. A few minutes later she found the roommate in the kitchen staring at a plain cheese sandwich on a plate. “Something wrong?” she asked. Roommate replied (I shit you not), “How is this supposed to melt the cheese?”
I like the way mayo on the outside turns out, but it’s a pain in the ass to make it that way and not enough of an improvement over butter in the pan for the hassle
I do put it on the outside. I like the crisp mayo makes but prefer the taste of butter so I meet myself in the middle and use both. A bothersomely fast metabolism makes up for the extra fat
Mayo has eggs, oil, and vinegar in it. As it breaks down while cooking the vinegar cooks off, the eggs french-ify the bread, and the oil fries the eggs onto the bread as it turns into toast. It works wonders for sandwiches cooking in a pan.

Also forgot the mayo
I just put cheese in it and then fry it in butter. But I’ve seen people butter the outsides.
This comment broke me
A little mayo on the bread, a little butter melted in the skillet
Just put mayo on the outside of the bread and use that to fry it up instead of the butter. Plenty enough oil in the mayo

Don’t forget the mustard!
Lol shows what you know. Do you also cook right on the oven rack?
